12,652. CYRUS AND CORONA VIRUS

CYRUS AND CORONA VIRUS
Found on papyrus, written by
Cyrus, the Great, something
about a virus, back then, left
to gestate into something else
because they didn't have the 
means to figure it out. Nor
publicize the rout either.
Only 12 people ever even
saw the thing. 'We've seen
what looked like people
people dropping like flies 
to us, Cyrus. What should
we do?' he winked, and said,
I will send each person here
a belt of 20 coins! That will
keep them enjoined! Going
for ice cream, buying straw
brooms at Calixa's Emporium,
and listening to the flutes from
outside the auditorium of the
Maximal Perpendiculous Arch.
If, of course, we need a war
I will make them march. That
always picks things up. I do
forget? Is pizza invented yet?
Or is it all here just falafel?
Can they put that ice cream
on a waffle? That sounds
good to me.
