Oliver Goldsmith wrote plays&verse when he could
though disfigured with smallpox in childhood
Best known for'Deserted Village'
a discursive poem for that age
To vaccinate or not?
What about diseases we forgot?
Like polio, T.B and Smallpox?
Kids can't take peanuts to school, or not,
But they can bring Measles and Whooping Cough.
What other diseases have we forgot?
To vaccinate or not?
Smallpox and polio
Were they as intensely feared
As Covid and Delta?
SARS, ebola, and swine flu
What happened to them?
Are they still lurking around corners?
Remember when everyone was terrified of AIDS?
Remember when people took vaccines without balking?
Remember when we watched out for each other?
With head resembling a p-e-n-i-s
This mutant has its own genus
Just how it evolved
Has not yet been solved
But it’s named T-rumpus meanus
Author’s note: This monster is suitable for study and might be kept in a secure supercooled freezer. If it ever were released on civilization, the effect would be like that of smallpox. (The software removes certain words so dashes were required).
Why ? Is it I'm behind and when you're in debt
You're in the rears ?
When you're late you pay a fine,
it costs you patience monies and time
Credit deteriorating fathom gross abundance
Payments lost you are shot in the back
In the rear behind buttocks with penicillin
In the buttocks medicine can't stop smallpox
In the rears payment and debt
Your crimes your financial debts ends when you're Dead?

New York City workers
Must be vaccinated or
If they show up for work, they will
Be firmly shown the door.
I’m heartened by this mandate
And especially in schools.
It’s time to bid farewell to all
The anti-vaxxer fools.
We’ve all been pricked for smallpox,
For measles and the mumps
And whooping cough and polio
(And sometimes on our rumps!)
So suck it up and take the shot,
Those missing jabs and swabs,
For you’ll be safer and, of course,
You’ll get to keep your jobs.
