First, Do No Harm

The tiniest microbes do the greatest harm some with spindly legs some with toothpick arms They fell powerlifting champions take down mighty oaks Fools dismiss 'germs' as a hoax Wise men aware they might croak

This is a good one, Gershon. Luckily my crobes have been up to snuff lately!

What a great world…humbled, the mighty, when felled by a microbe! The ax finds a crack in the helmet. Down goes the giant.

And the human body has dealt With such for millenia, when we Are weak 'very weak' we will be Overcome..Yet on the whole humanity Has enough resistance to carry on The biggest threat now is malevolent Design by those with the neans to Implement such..A valid write that Allows for considered comment.'
