Maine school board puts teacher on leave after she traveled to Dallas
Liberians, librarians,
Tea-Party libertarians.
Nigerians, Iberians,
Algerians, Siberians.
Dig a moat around your palace
To keep out anyone from Dallas
And drop the iron-barred portcullis
On anyone who passed through Dulles.
The Dalles, The Dales, Fort Worth or Plano
Deal with them as viral warlocks
Dip them in a vat of Clorox
Throw their clothes in a volcano.
And, at least for the duration,
Keep them under observation
From now until the crisis ends
Lock them up and all their friends.
.
The only thing we have to fear
Is fear itself. So don’t go near
An African, or a Hispanic
This might cause you needless panic.
Bear in mind a random stranger
Need not pose a mortal danger
If he’s kept in quarantine
And sprayed with hexachlorophene.
This is a work of genius. And it apparently takes a genius to know that we still have many thousand times more deaths from the flu than from Ebola. You certainly won’t find any geniuses on cable news.
