Listen to poem:
I mingle in the herd as a founding member,
carefully avoiding treading on toes
and breathing foul breath.
But, all we members have to be gathered there together.
It is a herd of all for one, and one for all,
mutually dependent on each other,
for herd's immunity to stop the spread.
Like herds of sheep, cows and goats,
and schools of fish and dolphins,
there is safety in numbers
and being within the huddle in swirling mob.
So the virus wastes its
jabs of spike proteins
on miss-hits and strike outs
on immune cells
and eventually dies out.
