Hand Hygiene
Wash your hands before you eat
For two minutes at least
Let it cook well that meat
Before you bid it welcome into your gut.
I see you running to and fro
The little office is ours no more
A little stool sits outside the door
And beside it... almost gone lies the tissue on the floor.
You cry in pain as your stomach rumbles
Inside your belly feels like a wild jungle
Where lions roar and elephants trample
Well I warned you first so do not grumble.
Can’t see your eyes they’re soo deep set
Your skin is dry and screaming with thirst
You are losing water two ways and yet…
We’ve been taught but listen you won’t.
There is only one cure and this is it
Wash your hands before you eat
Before you drink please that water treat
Fruits are yummy but wash ‘em first.
