Foiled By the Flu
December 24, 2009
Hello Daily Limerick readers. Unfortunately the flu has arrived and your favorite poets spent their evening at urgent care rather than writing a limerick. So, we thought we’d pull a timely limerick from our vaults. This one titled “From Sesame Street to Pennsylvania Ave“ appeared on September 5th, enjoy! As summer ends and fall begins the time of year known as “flu season” is quickly approaching. With the recent outbreak of the H1N1 flu virus, commonly known as Swine Flu, the U.S. Government is working hard to educate the public. The elderly, ill, and children are especially susceptible to the illness. In an attempt to teach children good hygiene such as sneezing into the bend of their arm and frequently washing hands, the government partnered with famous Sesame Street character, Elmo. The ads were originally aired in May 2009 but they have now been redesigned to promote the government’s flu website, www.flu.gov. click here for limerick
