#1 The brain-eating bug of Karachi,
An earworm the pious find catchy,
Is known by its symptoms --
The worst-stricken victims
Will wail like a mournful Apache.

#2 Going for the obvious bad joke:
"Gee, it's like there's something in the water or something..."

#5 ......three days of severe headache, nausea and irritability....

That would be a good week for me. Perhaps I should see a doctor and get wormed.

#6 Perhaps you are just prone to colic. Lay off the Timothy hay and consider long walks after midnight. Works for me, tregularity is life.
