what we need to do is dissect an infected bat

the egghead scientists,
bored
with their
day to day experiments
on mice and men,
decide to fool around
with a dead
bat
infected with an odd
virus.
it was a new
unexplored virus to study
and infect the world with,
not just other bats,
but people too.
it's complicated like
a Rubik's cube
needing a handful of brand
new vaccines, to curb
its symptoms,
can i get
a cha ching
and an amen?
we're tired of working on
measles
and cancer,
the common flu.
scabies, pffft.
we need a new exotic
disease 
to play around with.
someone get out the Bunsen
burner and the test tubes.
hand me that dead
bat and a scalpel
and let's hop to it.
it's against the law to do it
here, in the states,
so Anthony, get Amy Tan
on the phone
at the secret lab
in Wuhan.
