AN ODE TO YE FLUE BUG
The following original poem was composed by A. S. Fulmor of
rtuna, while confined t<> his horn*-, a victim of the "flu” hug of which
The King of Spain in his royal bunk
Was burning with fever and feeling punk. j
And ho cursed his luck and damned his fate.
For a “flu” bug had entered? his royal pate.
And the "flu bug" laughed in fiendish glee.
For truly u German bug was he.
He had never heard of the Golden Rule.
• But was raised on kultur in a German school.
And poor Alphenvo in his royal bed,
Tried to get that "flu bug" out of his head.
And he sneezed and coughed and blew his snout.
I'ntil at last the hug flew out.
Now a German geezer who was passing there.
Chanced to see this “flu bug" in the air.
And a plan went flashing through his bean,
Thut made old Satan’s eyes turn green.
Said he: "Those Yankees have spoiled our game.
The scrap was won until they came,
And knocked our lines to smithereens,
And dropped depth bombs on our submarines.
And now those Yankee pigs will see
What German kultur is,” said he.
"I’ll take this bug across the sea
To the Yankee’s home and set him free.
“I’ll turn him loose where L won’t he seen,
And then you’ll see him spread, I wean.
No more with Kaiser Bill they’ll fool.
We’ll give them a taste of German rule.
For this an iron cross I’ll score,
A house and lot j»erhaps, and more.
I’ll be renowned in the Fatherland,
And Bill, the Hun, will shake my hand.”
So spake the skunk, all this, and more,
And at last he landed on Freedom’s shore.
He turned his royal "flu bug” loose.
And thought to cook the Yankee’s goose.
The "flue bug” smiled, his chance soon came.
To do his part in the German’s game.
He made his victims cough and spout,
And scatter “flu bugs” all about.
And thus across the land it spread.
From mouth to mouth, from head to head.
And none there was who seemed to know
From whence it came or where ’twould go.
What ho! said Surgeon General Blue,
What's all this fuss? What’s all the stew?
Me thinks there’s running to beat the band
Some epidemic through our land.
\
4* I*II have a look at this disease 4*
4* To see what makes folks rough and sneeze. 4*
4* Well bust my eyes, said Surgeon Blue. 4*

4> Thp "flu bug" then will have a task. 4*
4* If you will cover up your gob 4*
4* You'll run the bug clear off the job. 4“

4* Fp rose the people, with a will. 4«
4* They smote this bug ami smote to- kill. 4*
4* They put on masks and took a hand ❖
4* To chase this bug from out the land. 4

4* A few there are, if [ may speak, 4’
4* Who will not cover tip their beak. 4*
4* And by such acts, we understand. 4*
4* They seek to aid the German band. 4*
4* 4*
4* So if this germ you would erase. 4
4* Why. please sir. cover up your fare. ' 4*
4* The good 'tw ill do, no one can tell. 4*
4* Perhaps Improve your looks, as well. 4*
