Influenza A

Influenza A
I’ve got to say
You really are a piece of work

You invade on sly
You multiply
You are ruthless, shitty and completely berserk

You don’t care for special days
For birthdays or school vacays
Your scruples are most definitely extinct

You greedy, gluttonous piece of shit
Infecting just one person doesn’t cut it
Your idea of fun and mine are clearly inversely linked.

My daughter’s birthday has come and gone
And yet you persist, you linger on
You unwanted, parasitic, germ

Get out of my head and body too
If the dodo is extinct, why not you?
This is most surely the end of your term!

Find some other living tissue for your needs.
Something else on which you feed
The year has ended fiend, now scoot.

Finally, the fevers gone away
But mucus, why the heck do you stay?
2018 please come- give this germ the boot!
