Strictly Germ Proof

The antiseptic baby and the prophylactic pup
were playing in a garden when a bunny gamboled up.
They looked upon the creature with loathing undisguised,
It wasn't disinfected, it wasn't sterilized.

They said it was a microbe and a hotbed of disease.
They steamed it in a vapor of a thousand odd degrees.
They froze it in a freezer as cold as banished hope,
and washed it in permaganate with carbolated soap.

In sulphurated hydrogen they steeped its wiggly ears,
and trimmed its frisky whiskers with a pair of harboiled shears..
Then they donned rubber mittens and took it by the hand
and elected it a member of the fumigated band.

Now, there's not a micrococus in the garden where they play.
They bathe in pure idoform a dozen times a day.
And each imbibes his rations from a hygienic cup,
The bunny...the baby,,,,and the prohylactic pup!

DonLeon,

When you post poetry you have not written, you should also include the author's name. It is proper and correct to do so. Otherwise, people might think you are guilty of plagerism!

The author of the poem, Strictly Germ Proof is Arthur Guiterman who was born in 1871.

Thank you,

from an author
