Invisible creatures all around,
Microbes and germs that can be found,
Some are helpful, some can harm,
A virus may spread with great alarm.

An epidemic can quickly arise,
And cause a lot of fear and surprise,
Microorganisms mutate with ease,
And can bring people to their knees.

But don't worry, there is a way,
To protect yourself day by day,
A vaccine can help prevent disease,
And keep you healthy with much ease.

Influenza is one type of bug,
That can cause a lot of coughs and hugs,
During a pandemic, we must be wise,
And take precautions to stay alive.

So wash your hands and cover your sneeze,
And stay away from others if you please,
With good hygiene and a careful plan,
We can beat any virus in our land.
