Facebook Haikus – Swine Flu | Poems and Poetry @ the Word is Love… by Marcus Higgs

Facebook Haikus – Swine Flu

Over at Facebook I asked friends to drop me a haiku. The topic: ‘Swine Flu’. Here’s what these witty wordsmiths came up with.

Kimchi Killed bird flu /
Swine flu is no match either /
Korea is safe
~ Josie

I like that Josie. Brought Korea into the mix.

NATO is free trade /
but we did not mean swine flu /
goodbye Mexico
~ Marcus

There are a few more.

leave porky alone /
eat wilbur if you want to /
just know that i’m not

hand sanitizer!! /
cover your mouth when sneezing /
and please, WASH YOUR HANDS!
~ Crystal

Tell’em Crystal. Simple instructions we’ve been saying since grade school.

Swine flu’s contagious/
and ignorance outrageous/
don’t live infected
~ Marcus

We’re at Level 5 people!

Chicken, cow, now swine. /
No animals left are fine. /
Nothing left to dine.
~ Vaughan

Nice on Vaughan. Added the rhyming scheme too.

In NY queens kids sick /
my patients all think they have it /
still don’t cover their cough
~ Candace

Do not eat the pigs /
Do not feed it to your kids /
Stick to fruits and figs /
~ Levar

I may be bias ’cause it’s my brother, but this one was my favorite. A health message with a twist of Dr. Suess. Think you can do better? Post below and show us what you got

Told you do not eat
Rolled eyes at the word “unclean”
demons cast, now flu’s vast!

i know im late in submitting…but i was bored: swine flu haikus

Is that what it’ll take
For us to practice hygiene?
“Bring it on,” I say!

The pigs are teaching
And we must heed the truth:
Swine – is BAD for you.

A vast pandemic
That good hygiene can erase
Will never die off!

How can I complain?
Swine flu equals vacation
Ce–lebrate good times!!!!

H1N1…What?
Let’s not get worked up in this.
It’s just a flu strain.
