Originally posted by Uncle Albert View PostI've started on an epic poem in the style of the great William Topaz McGonagall.
It's called Coronovirus, but I've only managed fours stanzas so far. Feel free to add lines if you are gripped with poetic inspiration.
Twas in the year of twenty twenty
A time that will be remembered plenty
That the world was stuck down by flu
Of a type unkown as it was quite new
It emerged in the city of Wuhan
Where it spread from bats on to man
And once it had taken hold
It attacked all young and old
From that part of Eastern China
It spread itself wider and wider
Passed on by coughs and sneezes
And even by the gentlest of breezes
And so by relentless circumnavigation
It spread as far as the Caledonian nation
The land of Sir Walter Scott
Began to suffer quite a lot
And that was the end of man-snake-bat-flu.

fluorine
arsenic in calculators, mercury in felt
hats, mad as a poisoned hatter
pyrophoric undercurrent in mundane
acts assume poison unless otherwise
informed crowded alloys detect no
health damage until generations later i
brush my teeth with nuclear intensity
the cavities i avoid destined for others
fall into hazardous-waste piles up as
i sleep smells though i don’t see it
transported across oceans & into sad
rural neglect how shiny my teeth are
this cold crisp morning

My Love
Is like a red red rose
That's newly sprung in June
My Love
Is like the melody
That's sweetly played in Tune
