A CONTEMPORARY 'GET WELL'  CARD

A CONTEMPORARY 'GET WELL' CARD

A Poem by Glen Fitch
"

(to the beat of "Miniver Cheevy" by E. A. Robinson)

"


       


    Ancient Egyptians, plagued by plague,

    Still scribbled figures on  papyrus.

    (Illnesses wear us down and yet   

    Communication's ever tireless)

    Conquering eastward, was it war

    Or just a cold that killed Great Cyrus?

    Likewise, perhaps infection kept

    Marconi steady at his wireless.

    Modern machines (internally

    with each new year appear more gyrous)

    Swiftly complex travail perform.

    If good heath wishes yet inspire us

    Hopefully your computer will

    Soon overcome its latest virus.

Brilliant, awesome. Any poet that can write a poem in the style of Miniver Cheevy is tops in my book.
