Shiver And Shake Poem by shimon weinroth

Rubella of German origin, rashed the baby's skin,
shocked the mother, poxed the dermis,
on the road of growing up, chicken poxed
with scars of itchy wars, scarlet fever raged galore
triumphed over mumps and falling bumps

scratches, burns of matches, fanged, bit by
serpent or mammal, insected and infected
by crawling creatures, overcame hordes of danger
cut down in prime, run down by man made tools
or struck by statistics and post modern realistics

beware if you care, or just shiver and shake
