If (....hardly original but eh!)
With due acknowledgement to Darren Thomas who would probably prefer to disown it.
If pigs get swine flu
Do sailors get brine flu
Do egotists get mine flu
Do cokeheads get line flu
If Geordies get Tyne flu
Do librarians get fine flu
Do policemen get crime flu
And binmen get grime flu
If tangents get sine flu
Do dusters get shine flu
Do lemons get lime flu
And nickels get dime flu
If slugs and snails get slime flu
Do bellringers get chime flu
Do prisoners get time flu
Do politicians get resign flu
If grapepickers get vine flu
Do the Gods get divine flu
And do poets get
Can’t think of the next rhyme flu?

Hi dave,
Enjoyed this bit of fun. It's good mental exercise to play with ideas like this. The phrase "swine flu" in itself a contradiction - and perhaps even an oxymoron (pigs flying?) Maybe another idea to play with.
