microscopic frights

Microbes!

They're everywhere
Under my chair
Beneath the stair
Within the very air!

Here I recall the event
That confined me to the tent
Where human tears are spent
Trying to rid fears, mind is bent
I shall recall in all
The time I saw
That murderous glob
Filled with malecontent:

A foolish fancied Francian mare
Gives the thought a frightful dare
That on my back raises every hair
My waking eyes are ever scared
The night may wake and give a stare
To the purebred eating my o' claire!

Who would'a thought in their mind right
That something with such strenghth of bite
Never wakes to see the night
Its lips sunscorched from lesser moonlight
Unless a different cause of all
Took its honor to its fall
Leaving us trapped with none to call
While organs gave way to devouring blight?

The night gave way
Into light of day
The cow fell down from the moon; Not
Until after it collapsed
From a heart attack
Did each and every one hear the boom.

The frightful scene,
Oh what a scream
The ladies let escape;
My heart I deem
Splits at the seams
A natural mistake.

We left the camp
Still hot and damp,
We went our separate ways;
Still none I think
Became like me,
Afraid of all that plays
On pieces of organic frays.

Now I shall part
And deem it smart
To run this weary path;
Where very weak
And easily steep,
I can do none but impart this:

Do not fear death
Because you'll be a nervous wreck.
