Earth bubbles red
clots of wrath
in pots and cauldrons
in mouths of mountains
Why are you so mad?
asked the elf
peeking from a knot
in the giant oak tree
Aaaaarrrgh! Earth roared
from her core
Can’t stand the rot, she cried
They’ve ruined
my last pure spot
The elf then decided
to trot to the phone
and sent an SOS
to wake up the gods
They yawned and reached out
for a wand of lightning
and carelessly cast
a Pandemic spell
Earth was appeased
and thanked the gods
who went Oops my bad!
That was a spelling mistake

Nice mash up of prompts. Things do come in cycles though and hopefully the latest mess will cycle out sooner than later. Though someone mentioned the last big Flu… (not Sars) lasted about three years.
