It is with great pleasure and pride that I turn over my blog, temporarily, to my daughter Rebecca so she can publish her humorous poem, The Germ Soldier. If you’ve ever seen a middle-schooler with a runny nose, you’ll relate to her art.
The Germ Soldier
By Becca Neihaus
They spread like throwing sand,
Since little boys don’t wash their hands.
They are invisible by my eye,
Some say they might be shy,
Though that’s a lie.
Armed with Purell I stand,
Ready to attack and distinguish germs where they land.
Desks and tables covered like bees in a hive,
When I am done, they will not be alive.
Thoroughly I spray,
To make all germs fade gray.
Once they disappear,
All is clear.
A passion for stopping germs,
Is never done out of term.
I do it everyday,
Making sure they all go away.
