Tony Lund Posted 30 July , 2009 Share Posted 30 July , 2009 TO AN INFLUENZA VIRUS. At last we've tracked you to your lair You spiteful little pest. We know just how and when and where You make your little nest. We've penetrated your disguise, We know your weight and shape and size, The colour of your hair and eyes And ugly face unblest. We'll put you into test tubes till Your ready for inspection, And when your brood the glasses fill We'll make a choice selection. For some great scientific mind Experimentally inclined, Who some new antidote will find To minimise infection. So when you once again appear We'll know just how to meet you; No more shall we be filled with fear, With serum we'll defeat you. Then you will quite as harmless be As our old friends the gnat and flea, And as a germ from danger free We can afford to treat you. From the Holmfirth Express 1919. Tony.
