Poetic Verses
Once a Little Germ
Once there was a little germ
that made its way around,
with every sneeze and handshake
a new place of growth was found.
It entered into the human body
and at first they didn't know,
it spread from person to person
then sickness began to show.
The process seemed immediate
and it only took a day or two,
the germ wasn't little anymore
as the symptoms suddenly grew.
Its growth was an accomplishment
and the germ was nothing new,
through attack it had mutated
and become a deadly strain of flu.
An illness that was easily shared
even without the human touch,
it would linger on door knobs,
the air and surfaces used much.
What you wouldn't think possible
is the reality of illness near,
it soon became more apparent
that there was something to fear.
A simple germ had become more
not even noticed by the human eye,
it was now more of a danger
causing a person to ail and die.
