Germ Schemes

Germ Schemes

I had a dream where I was goosed
with a shrink drug I was reduced
the same size as my fellow germs
but human nature came to terms
I had the power to compete
with HDL or LDL
on what to eat and what to shun
invent a bacteria
and cure in any area
or wake up if it isn’t done

Hi Ralph, This is a good entry for the contest theme. I think there are several cures already found but it's a money game. If no one is sick who will pharmacies give their medicine to? I wish you the best of luck of luck in the contest- Alexis

I don't know that I would want to be a germ so i think i would wish to be awakened quickly! although it would be neat to be able to change the course of genetic diseases around! Good luck in the contest :) hugs
