An Ode to Swine Flu

Mad Cow caused quite a riot
It impacted a global diet
The cows all said moo
But of course you know who,
PETA said, “Beef, don’t buy it!”

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Or SARS as it’s often known?
You did your worst in Asia
WHO said don’t let it phase ya!
And now where have you gone?

Avian flu is for the birds
But humans sure got scurds
Somehow we can catch this thing
From those feathery creature’s wings
It can kill you in other words.

And now we have the swine flu
This too can possibly kill you
There is as yet no vaccine
Which may not be too keen
Thanks Mexico, we owe you!
