The Rare Disease

My dearest patient

I have very good news

Your nasty infection

Has been subdued

We caught it early

You will be alright

Drink plenty of fluids

Get some sunlight

I had never seen

Such a nasty strain

It's no wonder you

Were in so much pain

These parasitic

And tiny things

That make up this

Quite rare disease

They first find a cell

Where they can survive

They populate it

And there they thrive

Their only care

Is to grow and spread

And they do this well

Til the cell is dead

Then they travel on

Finding other cells

Searching far and wide

For places to dwell

They're quite advanced

You'd be surprised

These microscopic

Parasites

They are even able

To communicate

And can learn at

An alarming rate

They use their

Own technology

To build resistance

Quite rapidly

So I cannot be

Entirely sure

If the treatment is

A permanent cure

But do not be

Overly concerned

We'll do a checkup

When you return

For now, you're cured

I'm sure you'll be fine

I'll see you again

In six months time...

...I've brought to the lab

The place of their birth

This poor dead cell

They call Planet Earth

To study a sample

Of the disease

This infectious strain

Of human beings
