SING A SONG OF MICROBES.
"Sing-a song of microdes, Dainty little thingsv . Ears and eyes and horns and tails, Claws and fangs and'stings. Microbes in the carpet; Microbes in the wall, Microbes in the vestibule, Microbes in'the hall. Microbes on my money, Microbes in my hair, Microbes on my meat and bread, Microbes everywhere. Microbes in the butter, Microbes in the cheese, Microbes on the knives and forks, Microbes in the breeze. Microbes in the kitchen, ' ft Microbes in the bed,. * Micrpbea on the brush and comb, Microbes in my head. Microbes in the faucet, Microbes in the drains, Microbes in my slioes and boots', Microbes in my brains. Friends are little microbes; ' Enemies are big, '■' • ' Life among the microbes is— Nothing ' infra dig.' . Fussy little microbes, - Billions - at a birth, Make our flesh 'and blood and bones* Keep us on the earth." ; ' —Toronto "Guardian,"
