How convenient -- a new scapegoat. I just looked up deer-hunting season and conveniently, it begins very soon, on August 13th and runs into November. (Have we forgotten about the bats and the raccoon dogs -- was that what they were called?)
Good point. I was so focused on my particular train of thought I forgot about that being used as an excuse to kill more animals. They’ve been killing so many these last few years.
Oh, yes, come to think about it, changed my mind of my response...maybe just use the picture for a couple of days for laughs...many may not get the "joke" and start thinking deers are full of "it"...
Loved the limerick! - One new word I learnt in the last three years is “immunosuppressed”. Never heard of that til 2020, and I used to teach history of medicine. Now everyone and everything is immunosuppressed, if not from a virus then due to some injabination that was fashionable for a while. And apparently I am an uncaring, heartless, science-denying -ist because my refusal to wear a mask/lather myself in sanitizer/ be afraid of other people could have killed an immunosuppressed person.
Currently having what an introvert might understand as a crisis level lack of alone time. Looking for a place to hide and write today, away from my perpetually needy and emotionally tyrannical children.
There once was a word, zoonotic,
Which turned the whole world quite neurotic.
Such terms were invented
For “germs” to be presented,
By parasites who are clearly psychotic.

Hmmm, I have not heard of the raccoon dogs. But I’m sure someone here will know.

I think most on Substack will know. But noted, thanks! 😊
The transfer they claimed was zoonotic
This turned the whole world neurotic
They said it was "science"
But they were just lyin'
Since pangolins sound so hypnotic
Love it! I tweaked my original already.
And also thought of a new last line:
“By parasites who are clearly psychotic.”
Can Zoonosis also be donated to charity?
Yes they’re being chucked into that box as I type! 📦
I’m Zoognostic myself
Ell oh ell
I’m not religious but I do believe in Dog
🐶🙏🏾✨
what a generous good thing to do for your mother
( and how lucky she is that your're able to do it so well ! )
She’s appreciative for sure! 🤓
Just want to say that I loved this and laughed reading it! Wishing you the best of stays "at home".
Aw, thank you! I hope you’re having a great trip back to your native country too 💗

Thank you from one heartless, uncaring, science-denying NBVD-er to another! 😉
I have a list of words I’d never heard of until March 2020 and shall add “immunosuppressed.” Will share/ask for more contributions…
I saw my old libtard chiropractor the other day. Well, I caught a glimpse of him behind his shield and three masks.
He barely squeezed me in before his next booster appointment.
He said the results for my x-rays had been analyzed by a government-funded gain-of-fiction lab, and the diagnosis was clear:
Spinal Zoonosis.
Oh no, I hear that’s terminal!
(Meaning you should end your relationship with him 🤓)
“global deletes “
Exactly. May I use?
You’re a good person and a helpful daughter.

Great post!
Thank you 😊 Yes, of course (I asked the same of another person a few days ago where he had written that in a comment).
Hope you can find some quiet time! Apart from my Mum I’m mostly by myself here and appreciate that for a soft internal reboot.✨
I’m jealous! I want a reboot too!
