Just a quick one because I nearly forgot!
A drug that’s called hydroxychloroquine
Invented, first to treat malaria
But used, now, rarely in that area
Was, in a very small scale study, seen
To cure, maybe prevent Covid-19!
And this has led to mass hysteria
Led by the President, who daily blearier,
Has trumpeted this miracle he’s seen.
The problem is, somebody’s trying to dupe us:
It’s not reliable. Whoever said
It was the cure was premature, or lying.
And people with the illness known as Lupus
Who need this drug, can’t get hold of their meds
And so, they may be killed by panic buying.
