Germaphobia

A pledge for all you clean freaks!

The little green men are everywhere

They inhabit the pores of a sponge

I scrub my head; I scrub my toes

There is no escaping this grunge!

 

The little green men are everywhere

I shield my face with a mask

I clean all day; I clean all night

 The doorknobs are quite the task!

 

The little green men are everywhere

I hide myself in my room

Feet in boxes; nets over bed

I shall not meet my doom!

 

The little green men are everywhere

They multiply more and more

Feed me crèpes; feed me pizza

 It’s all that fits under the door!

i did enjoy this...a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor, because we should be careful of them, but my do we overdo the caution?

i grew up in the 50's in NY and then in Illinois in the 60's---

we drank out of each other's soda bottle, shared whatever...we survived...

now? i think we need to wear protective suits and masks...and get totally out of touch with life, just to be safe.

i like this poem.

Thank-you, good sir! Micro organisms are definetly something we need to be wary of. No licking movie theatre floors!! However, nowadays what with all our antibiotic soaps, and medications we're taking for minor illnesses, we're creating antibiotic resistant bugs!! MRSA and VRE!!! There not only seen in hospitals, but now in gym lockers!! Germ fighting agents are good.....to an extent!
