Oy
mucosa!
Oh mucosi!
Thou art so versatile
How dearly we adore thee
If
not in good times
Then certainly in bad
Dear snotty friend
Thy work is so RAD.
Virus
and bacteria
Not friend - but foe
Oh my mucosa
Thou makest them go…
Down
to gastrica
Down into Hell
Down where they’re hydrolyzed
And then something else - I’m sure I can’t spell!
Out
damned creatures
Out and into the abyss
After all your dastard dabblings
I think it changed the color of my piss!
Thank
you Mucosa
Thank you old friend
You start way up on top
And come out in the end!
for my friend Tracy...
