Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel before giving his reading, he said: “People thought that would be the perfect time to bring that back. I got a call the other day from Adam Mansbach, the guy that wrote the original Go the F— to Sleep, and we talked about what we could do [to] remind people of social distancing and where we are in these times now. So he wrote a new poem, I read it and we want to present it to the public right now.”
You can read it, of course, but there’s nothing like hearing Jackson read it aloud, as he did in the clip below from”Jimmy Kimmel Live,” starting around the 4:54 mark.
