I’m Dreaming of a White Kleenex

December 25, 2009

Hello Daily Limerick readers.  Unfortunately the flu has arrived and your favorite poets have spent the better part of the past 48 hours fast asleep.  So, we thought we’d pull a timely limerick from our vaults.  This one titled “Fighting the Flu“ appeared on May 3rd, enjoy!

Fearing further expansion of the Swine Flu (H1N1 Flu) President Barack Obama asked Congress last week for $1.5 billion to help combat the outbreak.  The idea behind the request is to give the government “maximum flexibility” to supplement antiviral stockpiles, add medical equipment and prepare for a vaccine. 

The number of swine flu cases is ascending
And its world-wide appearance is extending
Obama gave the green light
To funds helping the fight
Is this considered government pork spending?
