Germs

Pesky germs just go away,
You’re not welcome any day.
On the logs and in the pots,
Everywhere we look.
When you hit water and soap,
You’ll dissolve into gloop.
Sadness for you and happiness for me,
Along with the rest of the world.
One down, a million to go,
Just come close once and risk it.
Hazard your lives saving your fellows,
Only dissolving too.
Pesky germs just go away,
You’re not welcome any day.
On the logs and in the pots,
Everywhere we look.
