  THE MICROBE  

The Microbe is so very small
You cannot make him out at all,
But many sanguine people hope
To see him through a microscope.
His jointed tongue that lies beneath
A hundred curious rows of teeth;
His seven tufted tails with lots
Of lovely pink and purple spots

On each of which a pattern stands,
    Composed of forty separate bands;
        His eyebrows of a tender green;
            All these have never yet been seen--
                But Scientists, who ought to know,
                    Assure us that they must be so....
                        Oh! let us never, never doubt
                            What nobody is sure about!

                                                Hilaire Belloc.
