Chronic Sparrows of Pathology
Anthrax! Anthrax! cried Frau Schmetterling
Her microporous liederhosen flapping in the breeze
Spraying microscopic baddies in her wake
"Die, ugly schweinhund! Take dis und de utter ting!
The sparrows were glowing in the sun
Burning of spleens - death on the highways!
Bloody stool and dysentery, bubos on the tongue.
And the plague take all sense from this verse.....
Now only Ogden Nash can put an end to this curse.
Too bad this is one of his shy days
Cipro! Cipro! snarled the specialist
Her lab coat belying her inexperience
I'll teach you to borrow my biro
On your butt I'll get real medievalist.
And the sparrows fell from the sky, crushing them all
