"His Lady Flu”
A Bunch of germs were whooping
it up,
In a bronchial saloon.'
Two bugs on the edge of the
larynx.
Where jazzing a rag-time tune.
Back of the teeth in a solo game
.
Sat dangerous ach-ker-choo;
And watching his pulse was his
light of love,
The lady well known as Flu.
-Oklahoma "Powwow."

Though the opposition claimed That it was an obvious foul," And the seconds at him almed, To eatop the tight, a towel.
There's no kick, except that hic: He makes cutlets mighty quick.
