Pandemic Poetry
A poem of this nature should be isolated
and people should distance themselves from it
for the good of society and civilization as a whole
poetry like this can go viral and
infect an entire population without warning
it could have come from a wet market
or some kind of nefarious Poetry Lab
we recommend the poem be tested often
and readers be quarantined until it dissipates
mask your feelings and hopefully
the intensity of the poem will subside
people can then return to their normal routine
of playing video games and watching U-Tube
we are working 24/7 to develop a vaccine
to counteract this type of poetry
and help those innocent victims
who have already been exposed
until then
do not be touched
do not exchange and
wash your hands after reading.

Ha-ha...inventive and amusing...a welcome combination at any time.
