A discharge of plain yellow pus <br />cannot be counted as a plus. <br />If tiny micro-bugs turn mean <br />they gurgitate the colour green. <br />That gives the body one good reason <br />to counteract this shameful treason. <br />You see, we humans are too kind, <br />we have been given a good mind <br />and understand how illness kills, <br />and have invented many pills <br />to stay alive, avoid infection <br />chase bugs into a new direction. <br /> <br />When simultaneously one feeds <br />whole colonies to meet their needs <br />it is too easy to forget <br />that most of them you've never met. <br /> <br />Thus, it is my considered view <br />that coughs, pneumonia and the flu <br />could be avoided altogether <br />regardless of the ambient weather. <br />Our bloody hospitality <br />is for disease the master key. <br /> <br />So, don't invite or tolerate <br />those pathogens to tempt your fate. <br />And do apply, likewise a ban <br />to hucksters and the bogeyman.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pus/
