Hygiene Hypothesis
Hush little baby,
Don't you cry.
Mama's gonna keep you
Safe and spry
Sterilize and clean you up
Harbor you from specks of dirt
Heed her words and admonition
Then you'll never, ever hurt...
But then you find
From birds to bees
Flowers to trees
You've developed
Massive allergies
There's a paradox to
That cleanliness tune
So, congrats!
You're now much less immune.
Repetitions on a Lather
Clean, clean, clean
Everywhere: tidy and spotless
Scrub, scrub, scrub
No contamination: ceiling to floor
Lather, lather, lather
Everything cleaned: before and after
Out, out, out
Mind obsessed: forever and ever
Insanitize
Find a germ and pick it up
Smite it with a Purell© touch.
Antiseptic. Disinfected. An.ti.bac.terial.
Sanitized. Sterilized. De.con.tam.inated.
Wash your hands at every turn
Rub them raw until they burn.

Germ Free Nation
Tell me what's on the news today.
What battles do I fight?
Bring on SARS and salmonella.
I'll fight the bird and swiney H1N1.
Touch Nothing
Breathe In Nothing
Eat Nothing
Disinfection Delusions
Enter a building, enter an office
Enter a store, enter a university
Hand sanitizers await your use at every corner.
At your sink, in your gym bag
In your purse, on your keychain
Bottled instant sanitizing on every shelf.
Leads to dryness, causes skin irritation
Cleans no dirt, diminishing effectiveness
Frequent use of hand sanitizers not so sanitary.
