Super Bugs! Watch out for them; they’re on the prowl.
Antibiotic-resistant, they look at humans and grimly growl.
They’ve evolved due to Mankind’s own antibiotic abuse,
through repeated patient and doctor “under” AND “over” use.
These bacteria have the potential to cause Mankind’s next great plague,
when millions will surrender to Super Bugs, ...... while waving a white flag.
So, please, don't you take antibiotics when not prescribed or needed.
But, IF prescribed, take-as-directed, or good health............ may be defeated.

Through humour, you have brought out valid and shocking truths Bri! 'They’ve evolved due to Mankind’s own antibiotic abuse, through repeated patient and doctor “under” AND “over” use'. Particularly enjoyed these two lines! !
