Salmonella – what a fella!

He went viral with Rubella

on the YouTube site ‘Infective.’

Are you sick?  That’s their objective.

E. Coli’s best friend is Crypto.

They both never walk on tiptoe

when your system’s ineffective.

Are you sick?  That’s their objective.

Pseudomonas, Fungi, MRSA -

they’re another gang.  A curse, a

blight, a pestilence collective.

Are you sick?  That’s their objective.

Salmonella – what a fella!
Are you sick?  That’s their objective.
