That Darn Virus

We have a dear old friend, name of Cyrus
Went to China and got that darn virus
  Poor guy has been quarantined
  In a yellow submarine
Told him, "If you recover please wire us"

Nice one, Gershon. But have a care; the reference to a ‘Yellow’ submarine could be considered racist!

Wow! Thanks for the heads up, Geoffrey. Never would have thought of this. ~ Shanghai Czech (LOL)

G'day Gershon … the bug has sent panic all over the world. Would Cyrus have been safer in a red submarine? Thanks Gershon - Lindsay

I take it you're a Beatles fan lol. Just saw the news, it's hit Africa and Ireland. As Jimmy the Scot says " waar aul doomed". Tom

Hi Gershon, That virus is growing at an alarming speed. It is frightening. And you know someone with it?The submarine is the best place him to recover- Alexis

It was just a poem, Alexis. I don't know anyone who has the virus. Only 15 reported cases in the whole USA. ~ Heading for the nearest submarine

Well, on the other hand, only one new case n the USA in the last two weeks. 335 million people here do not have the virus. Only 15 cases so far. Everyone's quick to blame Trump and Pence -- when the blame is squarely on the Chinese Communist government. ~ gw
