99. The Spanish Flu

I had a little bird,
Its name was Enza.
I opened the window
And Influenza.
As war raged on in Europe
A different one raged on at home.
I had a little bird,
Its name was Enza.
I opened the window
And Influenza.
With a cough and a sneeze
It devastated families.
I had a little bird,
Its name was Enza.
I opened the window
And Influenza.
Hospitals filled
With this terrible sickness.
I had a little bird,
Its name was Enza.
I opened the window
And Influenza.
Many died
In the wake of the flu.
I had a little bird,
Its name was Enza.
I opened the window
And Influenza.
Leaving families
Torn apart.
