Stealing this idea from someone on another site and the song from my childhood, I’m going to shamelessly make light of a sticky situation.
I now know how bird flu is going to spread:
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don’t know why she swallowed a fly. I guess she’ll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a spider That wiggled and jiggled and tickled insider her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed a fly. I guess she’ll die.
There was an old lady who swallowed a bird. How absurd! To swallow a bird! She swallowed the bird to catch the spider That wiggled and jiggled and tickled insider her. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly. I don’t know why she swallowed a fly. I guess she’ll die. (Continue verses)
Cat . . . Imagine that! She swallowed a cat.
Dog . . . What a hog! She swallowed a dog.
Goat . . . She opened her throat and in walked a goat.
Cow . . . I don’t know how she swallowed that cow.
There was an old lady, she swallowed a horse.
She died of course!
