Rico Leffanta Poet Limerick

Covid-19 Post Mortems

A quarantine patient on ice
Was sharing his space with some mice
When they nailed down a roof
All the mice were aloof
A safe place to dine is so nice!

His wife had an horror of rats
The mere thought of tombs drove her bats*
From the fires below
A voice purred, "Hello!
We welcome all wild pussycats!" 

* COVID-19 shares 96% of its DNA with bats

Andrea Dietrich April 10, 2020 at 8:57 PM Do you really think that is true about the bats? My daughter gave me some video that I want to watch . Conspiracy stuff. But they might be right. Rico Leffanta April 11, 2020 at 12:59 PM What other reason would bats have for hanging around in a belfry? Aloha! Rico

Arturo Michael April 10, 2020 at 4:52 PM Very creative piece... Rico Leffanta April 11, 2020 at 12:58 PM Thank you for reading and commenting, but not very creative as my late wife abhorred rats and bats, and threatened to haunt me for eternity if I laid her to rest in the cold, wet earth of Ynysybwl, so she went up in smoke (or so we hope as morticians today adhere to Trump's standard of integrity). Aloha! Rico
