Germicide

My husband tried to kill the germs That lurk within our space. He bought a spray-top Lysol and He spritzed around the place. Now germs are rather clever things – Invisible and sly; You never know exactly where Their tiny bodies lie. They like to float up in the air And cling to walls and sinks. I have no faith a spray will work, Despite what Lysol thinks. The label shouts out loud and clear That ninety-nine percent Of virus and bacteria Will leave – that’s the intent. But what about the germs that hide, Avoiding all that mist? And yes, there is that one percent That’s likely to resist. There’s really not much you can do When germs invade your nest – Drink fluids, wash your hands and yes – Get lots and lots of rest. As far as Lysol, what the heck, It doesn’t hurt to spray. Perhaps it will convince some germs It’s time they went away.
