The Vampire Virus

entry picture

We ask where you came from,

how long do you intend to stay.

You are not welcomed here,

please checkout and go away.

 

Perhaps you came from a bat,

sold on a market selling meat.

Purchased and ate by a man,

who preferred rare meat to eat.

 

Maybe you were a vampire,

sustained by the cull of lives.

Could the blood in your flesh,

resist heat and somehow survive.

 

Did your cells invade his body,

resulting in hyperventilating death.

Did you mutate into coronavirus,

instead of blood now stealing breath.

 

Reborn, passing human to human,

via the breath you desire and take.

Perhaps I will replace my mask,

for a crucifix, a hammer and a stake.

Lettuce and chocolate, really? what a treat
and may I add, much safer than rare meat!

I gather from recent news that we could now be facing another plague, this time a swine flu from China. When will all this ever stop?
