SARS:

I'm not so much afraid of SARS,
   But rather, people driving cars.
For there's more dangers in the street
   From crazy drivers that you meet!

Who knows what liquors they've been drinking
   Or what could be their lack of thinking.
Traffic accidents in every city
   Take greater toll of lives, a pity!

  While Severe Acute Respit'ry Disease is
     Well-contained with covered sneezes.
