H1N1 rap

As 2009 is coming to an end, I have decided to write a song about this year's flu pandemic. More of a rap actually. Listen up people

Once upon a time
There was a crime
That offence was to not wash your hands
not check your temperature
not do all those crap
that save yourself from getting Sars
Sars, what is Sars? Who cares about that?
We have a new friend come this year
He was first known as swine flu
but that didn't sound really too cool
coz we were scared, we did feared
It was in the press, on the TV
everyday, each day, once a day
we will hear and see all the news about him
Ironic, isn't it?
Why is he so popular?
He killed so many people
And we follow him more than anything else this year
except for Michael Jackson
Although he's on the headlines
but he's even harder to catch than a Suicine
Why am I talking pokemon here?
Oh please come on man
let's get back into the room
the room that is meant for H1N1 patients

Chorus
H, One, N, One
put on your mask if you have a flu
because if you cough or sneeze
you will be spreading this stupid disease
H, One, N, One
avoiding consuming pork
and say no to Mexico
but you can still afford to grin
as you can get a flu vaccine

It is so strange
First they say Mexico was where it originate
Then they changed and said it was from Asia
However, there is still no proof
who the hell started this goof
or maybe you can ask yourself
why am I stuck in this vicious cycle?
Then the government started paying attention to it
only because many people were affected by it
thermometers were a hit
masks were equally in
or rather anything good will be bought by people
It's all in the mind
it is the mentality
of a human, who wants to play it safe
but at the end of the day
it is the shops who have the last laugh
Quarantined was the retro phrase
we've used it for more than five years
and some of us got to experience it
for seven long days
just because our friend was infected with it
Well done, my pal

Chorus
H, One, N, One
put on your mask if you have a flu
because if you cough or sneeze
you will be spreading this stupid disease
H, One, N, One
avoiding consuming pork
and say no to Mexico
but you can still afford to grin
as you can get a flu vaccine

A few months later
the W, H, O
who? who cares
they were the ones who declared this virus as not so crucial
People started to relax
schools were back to normal again
the government changed the colour back
I just felt so ermmm cracked?
Everyone started to pretend
this influenza has come to an end
but but, then again
it was on the news yet again
you can get a vaccine to protect yourself
at the nearest clinic from your house
and the news started looking sick
with full of images of jabs
day after day
I see needles pierced into people's arms
it was so unsightly but the TV station didn't pity me
broadcasting the news was their number one priority
and now I am feeling drowsy
what happened to me?
was it because of the whisky
or due to this flu pandemic?

Chorus
H, One, N, One
put on your mask if you have a flu
because if you cough or sneeze
you will be spreading this stupid disease
H, One, N, One
avoiding consuming pork
and say no to Mexico
but you can still afford to grin
as you can get a flu vaccine
