Watch out, fella!
Beware of Salmonella!
A Serving of Bacteria With the Pork?
By Elton Camp
It’s hard to believe that some say
Eating pork that’s pink is okay
Here’s how a supermarket survey went
Yersinia were found in nearly 70 percent
Salmonella, enterococcus and listeria too
Make undercooked pork a meal to rue
Since hogs to begin with aren’t very clean
Better hygiene in processing it does mean
In the meantime, what can pork eaters do
For reasonable safety, the options are two
Cross-contamination must not take place
And adequate cooking germs will efface
It makes some wonder if they might
Embrace a largely vegetarian diet
The Inferior Bacteria
There was once a young bacteria,
Who used to feel inferior.
But he resisted antibiotics
And medicines exotic,
Now he is feeling superior.

Bacteria is our God,
Moles, Spore (spora) mother of God;
Before the life existed,
Nothing there was,
Except luminosity of sun,
Sheen of moon and stars;
Earth separated itself from sun,
Formed identity of own;
Yet relied on energy of sun,
Moon and other planets and stars;
Sun heated and moon cooled,
Positive and it's opposite,
Always were in collision,
As opposite roles they had;
Major portion of burning earth
Covered by sea of liquified gases,
Hydrogen, Oxygen and minerals,
From burning inner fire of earth,
Potassium, Magnesium, choride,
Sulfate, sodium, calcium and so on;
At the shore and beneath the sea,
Chemicals reacted in damp,
Moisture, in stale unmoving water;
Turned into green molds,
Helped spora (seed) of bacteria,
First life on earth to grow;
Never be in misconception,
For God sake,
Things decay is just waste;
Decay is life for next life;
Bacteria is our God
And Spore (spora) is seed of God;

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!
Bacteria
Baleful creatures at times
Belonging in one place
Brutal if their misplaced
Basic need for our lives
Benefits and betrays
Boundless, microscopic
Barbaric, blessed bugs
Find Bad Bacteria Horn Saying
To find things do not be a dope
Start looking through microscope
Find bad bacteria have to hope.
James Serious Mysterious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet
Indecision and weakness, selfishness and recklessness
Invade our personalities and sap from our souls stamina
When fleas, lice and bedbugs feed on our foolishness
Panel beating us flat and horizontal into the lamina
Mosquitoes, leeches, bacteria, plasmodia and viruses our bodies incapacitate
Leaving our mangy bodies vulnerable
As though we inadvertently chose to precipitate
Crises and conundrums that disable
Our broken bodies
Blowing them first left next right
When high energy eddies
Steal and peel our birthright
When fellow sinners despite their burdens
Join us in solidarity
As we fumble, grumble and stumble in the sorrow gardens
Where hypocrites look down on the majority
Communicate without speaking
Wincing at the sorrows they wish they knew
Quitting from burdens of life and quaking
Would render us inferior to the shrew
Who despite her smaller size put up a brave show
To grant us comfort and support
As we dodge the low blow
Fate strikes in a determined effort us from life to export and deport.
Doctors fight
Day and night
To save countless lives
From a virus that does not play by the rules
It attacks us in confined spaces like gyms and indoor swimming pools
Anywhere where germs and bacteria thrive
This coronavirus wants to destroy our lives
Washing our hands and sterilizing them wherever we go
Is part of education. Now we know!
As information spills out day by day
We've learnt that close human contact should be avoided
For the time being. Please obey!
Let's unite
And do what is right
Young mango plant
Young growing seed
Push from the tumbling mess of weed
And gain the sunshine, gain the air-
Gain the microbe -but beware!
There lurks one special microbe here
Awaiting cuts and scrapes
He enters wounds and then insists
The host cell replicate
By conjugating with a plant,
He crosses all the lines
And forces all your cells to make
The food of his design
You’ll replicate incessantly
And form a barky ball
Abnormal growth for all to see
From one microbe so small!
Your kingdom is his kingdom,
Though he never was invited
Genome contaminated
When he thinks he is a virus
Beware this little microbe
Who seems to’ve lost his senses
Keep growing, but when cut
Prepare to booster your defenses
