Perhaps the heart of Africa
Perhaps in Texas Rose
Maybe it’s in hospitals
No one really knows
But when this bug
Did hit these shores
A panic soon arose
And men and women
Ran around
All dressed in funny clothes
They dressed in white
And all wore masks
And made sure they were snug
For just in case
Should sneak inside
That vicious little bug
And companies across the globe
Are racing for a way
To make a shot or find a pill
To chase the bug away
I won’t describe its nastiness
That’s for another story
For the pages of this newspaper
The details are too gory
But that is not
The point I make
In writing these few lines
About the bug and the E words
Escaping its confines
The president is not afraid
“No bug can ever beat us!”
I think we must remind him of
A fellow they called Titus
Titus was a warrior
A powerful mean thug
Who was brought down
Mercilessly
By just a tiny bug
And we are fighting terrorists
And threats upon these shores
Worried about all the threats
That may pass through our doors
It will not be security
Or an amazing drug
That will fend off any terrorist
Or any foreign bug
Let’s not forget
The problem
And the authentic threat
It’s when we think
That we’re in charge
The real Boss we forget
He can stop the terror
A virus that seems grim
It’s up to us
To know He’s there
And put our trust in Him
