im glory,Once gave a ball in a laboratory.The fete took place on a cover glass,Where vulgar germs could not harass.None but the cultered were invited(For microbe cliques are well united),And tightly closed the ballroom doorsTo all the germs containing spores.The Staphylococci first arrived—To stand in groups they all contrived—The Streptococci took great painsTo seat themselves in graceful chains.While somewhat late, and two by two,The Diplococci came in view.The Pneumococci, stern and haughty,Declared the Gonococci naughty.And would not care to stay at allIf they were present at the ball.The ball began, the mirth ran high,With not one thought of danger nigh.Each germ enjoyed himself that night.With never a fear of the phagocyte.Twas getting late (and some were loaded),When a jar of formalin exploded,And drenched the happy, dancing mass, Who swarmed the fatal, cover glass.* * * * * * Not one survived, but perished allAt this bacteriologic ball. —Southern California Practitioner.
