I might not be the brightest kid

I know I’m not courageous

but that awful bird and swine thing,

and my shoulders sprout out wings?

I guess I shouldn’t worry,

and make a big tadoo,

because all that would happen

the same day that swine flu.

and my shoulders sprout out wings?

I guess I shouldn’t worry,
and make a big to-do,
because those things would happen,
the same day that “swine flu”.
