It’s essential I find someone to blame
before this disease is attached to my name.
The “Spanish Flu” wasn't Spanish.
The Black Plague, not Black. (Rats and fleas!)
The current pandemic, Goddamnit,
though I say it is, it isn’t Chinese.
It would be a total pain in the rump
were Covid-19 deemed la maladie Trump.
(By Hydroxychloroquine, my elixir of Life!
La maladie Trump? Is that my wife?)
I need a crown. Perhaps a throne? OR
Imperial laurels. I do not want a corona!
