Bacteria To the Fuscia

A cosmonaut called Anatoli was diagnosed with acute E.coli When he became somewhat delirious, they thought it was Bacillus cereus When plated out under a prism, it looked instead like Botulism Have you all gone off your rockers, it’s a strain of Staphlycoccus And then thrown in just as a bonus, a rumour spread of Pseudomonas No way you nincompoops cried Hans, it’s Candida albicans. We’re all agreed the team replied........ just after Anatoli died!

Thanks Jeanie. Why not carry on the saga of Anatoli. "In defiance of the infection, the team embarked on a resurrection......"

It is said that too many chefs spoil the soup, and yet - also that many hands make light work. Not that that should be one's epitaph, necessarily. Cheers, Tom.
