Best Diphtheria Poems

The Jab

I am somewhat disenchanted by what I’ve seen and read
Antivaxxers believe the lie that soon the vaccinated will be dead
That our leaders are out to get us, dictating what we need
and will decrease the population by deciding how we breed

I’ve heard more twisted theories...

Ella Hyde

1857- 1898


That cad with the freckle on his forehead,
That rascal man beast,
Handsome as a Greek
But devastatingly insecure,
And so deliciously young!
He was the one who stole my pride,
There, behind the Hadley tombstone in the moonlight,
And who, 
Breathlessly and with trembling hands,
Unlatched the ruby red necklace
From...

While others writers think of love
you’ve shat on that pure white dove.
Before on and on, I must go,
I’m telling others of what I know.

Love to ride the ‘Royal Scotsman,”
but this train I’m on is full of flotsam.
What I’m saying is so loaded with duress,
Its’ like...

Frank J. Paul

1866 - 1887

The first I was!
Into the first hole they put me.
Down the lane they carried me that day,
Tearfully singing the first dirge for me –
Frank J. Paul –
The first to be interred on Willit Dorland’s property.
Mother and father – Thank you. Thank...

My Lydia, my Lydia, 
You undoubtedly have contracted chlamydia.
During one of your sex-capades, 
In a beloved city, somewhere in Syria, or India, 
Or presumably from the talented guy, 
You willingly met at the cafeteria in Nigeria. 
maybe it was the Presbyterian at the meridian?
Oh My...

Mean to Paula Dean

Why should we be mean to Paula Dean
To us in America is the cooking queen,
Who used a word which was a no no
I had heard from Sunny Bono and Ono.

Just because it happened to be her,
To your big brain did it ever...

Steam from a passing train funnel 
wrapped under and over the footbridge 
like regret around a jilted lover. 
We were walking home from school 
(people walked places, then). 
Afternoon sun was glittering 
on the maturing wayside grass, 
tall and feathery. 
Term was ending. 
I was...

I feel equivalent to an alien
as if I don't belong
for I am Pleiadian
I'm extremely headstrong

Although I understand struggle
I imagine we could still overcome
if we can learn to juggle
then to this we wouldn't succumb

Have we become to ostracism
when someone doesn't meet our criteria
magnifying a prism
as if...

Cyrus Neff
1842-1914

You will never find me and the missus, 
Not back here amongst the roots and the scrubs!
We are among the forgotten dead of Mt. Olive Cemetery!
Our graves have disappeared, completely
Eaten away by time and rain and wind.
I bought these cheap graves in a potters...

Covid 19 on the run now.
We're gonna have tons of fun now.
So long we've had to cope.
Now,finally there's hope.
So, let's not act like dopes.
VACCINATE!
The progress that has been happening.
It is because of the vaccine.
The vaccine is the way.
To see a brighter day.
Don't let it slip...

If your motives are ulterior,
Then, hatch them in The Interior
Where the Blame-Worthy is senior 
And the Praise-Worthy junior;
But your gain: Satan’s hysteria,
In hospitals Fresh Diphtheria,
The Ulterior makes The Inferior
Hardly, The Ulterior superior:
The by-nature meant for the rear, 
Coastal regions and ones by a ria 
Welcoming...

Friendly sage from the starless height 
Now dying without fright 
In his human and earthly sight 
The cosmos dimmed its light 
Dying from old diphtheria 
Still his will looked higher 

He lost his voice to teach and greet 
That poured wisdom so sweet 
All he...
