I’ve been inspired by the [COVID haiku thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=895515).

I’ll start.

The virus will give you pneumonia  
But dies when exposed to ammonia.  
Don’t drink disinfectant  
Or you’ll be expectant  
Of pushing up lots of begonias.

In Wuhan, a city once booming,  
The disease jumped from just bats to human  
We could search there all year  
And find nothing, I fear  
It would take too much effort exhuming.

The Covid 19, as you know,  
Started out in China, kind of slow  
But it reached its potential  
With spread exponential  
Herd immunity’s a no-show!

Trump said cases will shrink down to zero  
He thought he was a pandemic hero  
While he played the golf green  
The virus was seen  
to prove Trump more like the emperor Nero

Our grocery stores are all breadless.  
Our government seems to be headless.  
But all that we ask  
Is you make your own mask  
From old T-shirts you once bought from Threadless.
