Working in the lab, I rush through the door,
Knock over a Petri dish, it tumbles to the floor... Yikes!
It smashes to bits, stuff goes everywhere,
I wonder what nanobugs are flying through the air!?!
Oh, nanobugs, nanobugs, microbes everywhere!
On my skin and up my nose and even in my hair... Yuck!
nanobugs, nanobugs, Clinging to my arm
I hope that they're the kind that don’t cause any harm!
I run to the sink and try to disinfect,
Scrub my hands with water without any effect...Darn!
Agar coats my shoes, a terrible event.
I said I enjoy culture, but this isn't what I meant!
Oh, nanobugs, nanobugs, I’m getting sick, I bet!
If I inhaled pathogens no telling what I’ll get... EEWWWW!!
nanobugs, nanobugs, Going to my head.
It will be a miracle if I don’t end up dead!
Then into the lab walks a scientist
I think he might be an epidemiologist ...YAY!
He says not to worry, it happens everyday
No nasty things were in the dish and everything's OK!
Oh, nanobugs, nanobugs, they are everywhere,
On the kitchen counter and in your favorite chair ... Wow!
nanobugs, nanobugs, here's a happy twist:
Without all of the nanobugs, life would not exist!
"Your presentation at the Rocky Mountain Infection Control Meeting in Salt Lake City was so fun and very informative!
Microbiology can be such a difficult subject! I'm looking forward to any way that you can make it easier for all of us!
I won the playing cards and LOVE them! I'll wear my "NANOBUG" tee shirt at the next nurses meeting!
THANKS!
