Rico Leffanta Poet Limerick

No Teacher's Pet

When the coronavirus came
The news said there's no one to blame
It killed off my master
His dog a bit faster*
And that's how they both achieved fame.

*A dog in Hong Kong has tested
positive for the coronavirus

Gail Debole March 11, 2020 at 3:32 PM Another great limerick! I was actually wondering if other animals could get it. Your limerick has humor and is educational besides. Hopefully, that virus will be contained before it does a great more deal of harm.

Andrea Dietrich March 6, 2020 at 6:02 PM hard to believe it gets the pets too. I saw a picture with dogs and cats wearing masks!! Good one.

M. L. Kiser March 5, 2020 at 10:53 PM I saw that story, sad where this virus is doing, well penned. Rico Leffanta March 6, 2020 at 1:28 PM Trump says it only proves people can pass the virus on to their pets, not that pets pass it on to humans. Stay tuned! Aloha! Rico

Jan Allison March 5, 2020 at 4:06 PM oh gosh that is an incredible story Rico, it is spreading like wildfire and it wont be long before our little Island gets its first case:-( I've also just posted a poem on the virus today> Hugs Jan x Rico Leffanta March 7, 2020 at 1:09 PM Well done!
