Another Dr. Seuss story ruined forever

Just before May, in the jughead of a fool

In the heat of a plague, in the buzzing press pool,

He was gnashing about, enjoying bully joys

When Horrid, ineloquent, heard a small noise.

So Horrid stopped gnashing, he looked to the sound

“That’s funny,” thought Horrid, “there’s no one around.”

“Actually, sir, we’re ALL here, squeaked a reporter

“That’s funny,” Horrid fumed, and his temper got shorter

As if millions of people were calling for help

But Horrid, too tone deaf, heard just a small yelp

“I alone can fix it, Super powerful!” he said

But the sound grew quiet, as more persons were dead

A few of those present, expecting answers and sanity

Forgot they were not favored, (like loyal Sean Hannity)

“What about containment, like in South Korea?”

Enraged Horrid responded with verbal diarrhea

He squinted to look, he snorted and scowled

For he met no disaster that could not be more befouled.
