Pandoras Monkey

Pandora had her a monkey;
She kept it on a short chain.
It came down with pox;
She slammed shut her box,
And hoped not to see it again.

Some bad boys who wouldn’t wear socks
Were messing with Pandora’s box.
They got down, they got funky,
They let out the monkey,
And now there are pandemic talks.

Monkey pox. Remove the 'k, and you have Money Pox, which is all the country cares about anyway. ~ Just sayin'

Dear God, I hope not! I can't take another pandemic like the last one. I'm one of the last Covid virgins, and I hope to stay that way. Still taking precautions!

I can’t imagine it will go that far, but the CDC has been slow to call out the behaviors that are leading to its spread, not wanting to stigmatize anyone…

That's pretty tragic... I hope there won't be anymore pandemics. Honestly, we are already so sick of covid
