Little song of epidemiology
Mouth of the queen, mouth of the horse— what will become of the young disease? Like a sling, a mouth needs content. After dinner comes a husband to a wife, night to the coffeehouse, a horse to a rogue.
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 11 January 1660/61.
