To a Germ-Spreading Hand Shaker

Why those clammy hands of lasting grief
For an owner of a handkerchief? 
Then, you are a forgetful kind,
Who few things keep in mind.

A full right I have to know
Or fully annoyed I shall grow
The last careless contact by your hand
Now, about to unleash microbial harm.

Why not often The Disinfectant 
By you thought rather exorbitant?
A clogged left nostril you’re picking
And my fingers I’d be licking
After your palms against mine sticking 
And in the end a time bomb ticking?
