I've decided to stop writing about bird flu. Why? because it's become passe. There are other bloggers out there that are doing a fine job of "scaremonggering". I'll just say this as a final comment: Will it happen? Probably. Is there anything I can do about it? Very little. I've checked out aperobot.com and have garnered some inspiration from the mediocre poetry section and here is my ode to bird flu in the same vein:
Bird flu, bird flu
Straight outta Jakarta came, WHO knew?!
Flying round the globe on a wing-ed migration
You sparked a world-wide population deflation
Not enough respirators to do the trick
Too many sick chicks, can't use my dick
Wish I could stop you before you get started
Be like you paid a dime and only farted
150 million deaths is lookin' quite likely
It don't care if you're black, yellow or whitey
No known vaccine to stop the spread
Makes my lungs bleed and inflates my head
There will be a run on Tamiflu to be sure
Makin' Roche Pharma the stock pick du jour
