This brief children's poem, which describes the incoming of the Spanish Flu in a humerous, light-hearted form, was important during the year that the flu cuased so many deaths. It was nececcary to make light of such things to keep your spirits up. Though the author is unknown, it is more than clear that the best line is the last one, line 3, which seems to make the previous lines all make sense. The entire poem is a pun, thus adding to the light hearted effect. Though it does'nt make you laugh out loud, it does bring a smile to your face, or at least a sense of security to the mind.
