Immunity

Might as well flea
Where viruses go
They won't come near
To have a vaccination

I have Immunity
You can't touch me
All those little viruses
Might as well flea

        I wouldn't be so sure
       You never really know
       Whether you're protected
       Where viruses go

Don't be so dramatic
I've nothing to fear
I am super healthy
They won't come near

       Ok, if you say so
       But I'll take inoculation
       Much safer by far
       To have a vaccination

Xxxxxxx

This poem is:

1. Written to highlight the need for vaccinations for everyone; the photo is a world relief vaccination clinic funded by Tearfund.

2. A chained poem which is the form provided as part of the real toads mini challenge.

3. Linked up at Sunday scribblings for the prompt "immunity".

I like the way you've used the form here--it works really well to get you idea across, I think. And a very worthy cause, I'm sure. Thank you for participating, Emma.

Better be safe than sorry, have a vaccination ~

Sorry, but did you mean flee instead of flea ?

A very important message, one that is often overlooked in my country. And I admire your courage in creating a four-line first stanza instead of the three-line one I chose . I feel kinda wimpy in comparison now :D

Have a nice weekend!

I'm feeling a bit guilty right now ... no flu shot this year. Actually never!

I must admit I spent the time wondering if the use of "flea" was purposeful...and if it is how that fits in.

Otherwise, nicely writen, and an important message.
