Seven Swine Flu Poems
Here are seven Swine Flu poems–
1.
Does your child cover her mouth when she coughs/Or is she a reflection of you/Because of the poor example you’ve set/Your kids are spreading the Swine Flu
2.
You’ve enjoyed those pork chops/And that pork rib B-B-Q/But now the table has been turned/And pigs are killing you
3.
Some are mad at Mexico/Because that is where the Swine Flu began/But when disease our ancestors brought killed Native Americans/We happily took their land
4.
Here is a problem/For all you creationists to solve/ If evolution is not true/How is it that viruses evolve
5.
Texas Governor Perry said/ Maybe Texas should secede/Then he called up Washington/And said send the flu medicine we need
6.
People die in poverty and disease/All around the world each day/But we never hear the end of it/When people in wealthy nations get sick in some novel way
7.
Between the global flu outbreak /And the global economic disaster/ Who can make a prediction/Of what will do us in faster

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.

Great job! Certainly captures the moment.
You wrote all that yourself? That’s pretty good. I blogged about swine flu, too. Sis tells me the kids at school are being mean and theya are also avoiding talking to hispanic kids.
“Some are mad at Mexico/Because that is where the Swine Flu began/But when disease our ancestors brought killed Native Americans/We happily took their land”
…and created medicines and hospitals that virtually wiped out terrible diseases all over the world and in most countries. This flu virus actually came from Asia and grew in Mexico due to unsanitary conditions that are common there.
“Texas Governor Perry said/ Maybe Texas should secede/Then he called up Washington/And said send the flu medicine we need..”
In exchange for being treated for free at the Texas Medical Center.
Joe–Terrible diseases are still over the world while we research more Viagara type drugs.
As for use of the medical center, it’s a small payback for all the cheap labor they give us.
hi i like the poems 1 and 3 they were great!
Interesting stuff. Did you hear that there’s a new strain which is resistant to the anti-flu drugs? Tamiflu etc? Found a really good website for tracking it’s progress, seems to be updated every hour or so… http://www.swinefludeaths.co.uk.
Kindly go through my poem on swine flu…..
Poem on swine flu
I feel pleasure to introduce my lovely doll,
Beautiful, slim, attractive and tall,
Last week god knows what happened to her,
She developed cold, cough and high fever,
Couldn’t sleep well coz of running nose,
She was looking like a pale rose,
She suffered a lot from body ache,
Sore throat and severe headache,
Oh! That persistent diarrhea and vomiting,
Complaints for tiredness & troubled breathing.
She turned out to be restless with skin -blue,
Doctor diagnosed her illness as swine flu.
Every one said it is a disease of death,
But doctor said, “You need to have faith”.
He asked me to comfort her with rest,
I applied wicks on her chest.
She covered her mouth using mask with bands,
And used sanitizer to wash her hands.
Medicines she took in proper dose,
All these made her again bloom like a rose.
Now my doll is in pink of health,
Enjoying her time with her friends.
Well, no one wants to suffer like my doll,
So, let’s follow precautions for all,
And pray to God to keep us alright,
Happy, healthy, cheerful and bright.
Happy, healthy, cheerful and bright.
