Mikey Microbe
Listen to Gaynor read her poem ...
Little Mikey Microbe,
You’re smaller than a flea.
I don’t know much about you –
You’re far too small to see.
Little Mikey Microbe –
May I call you Mike?
I’d need to use a microscope
To find out what you’re like.
Dear little Mikey,
Are you good …
Or MEAN?!!!
I think I’d better find some soap
And wash my hands quite clean!
You’re smaller than a flea.
I don’t know much about you –
You’re far too small to see.
Little Mikey Microbe –
May I call you Mike?
I’d need to use a microscope
To find out what you’re like.
Dear little Mikey,
Are you good …
Or MEAN?!!!
I think I’d better find some soap
And wash my hands quite clean!
