E. coli on the Rampage Again

It's a scary situation.

E. coli On the Rampage Again

 

By Elton Camp

 

Once again, bad cases of sickness from E. coli are seen

As before, it’s because our food supply just isn’t clean

It’s in animal feces we find these bacteria’s natural location

Thus, for them to be found on food should be rare aberration

 

Both all the health authorities and the public should have a fit

Because, to be utterly stark and crude, our food contains s**t

This time it appears that vegetables from Europe are to blame,

But other foods from various countries have also been the same

 

The solution to this serious problem I am not able to supply

But eating changes and preparation techniques we might try

Unless vegetables we ourselves carefully grew & protected

To eat them without washing and cooking shouldn’t be elected

 

Meats can also be dangerous, especially if they’ve been ground

So we can cook them thoroughly, not just until they are browned

That the foods we must buy and eat are unsafe we shouldn’t fear

Hey there, governments, how about giving us a little help here?
