you caught yourself a super bug and don't know what to do
antibiotics just aren't working and you're feeling worse than blue

you are sniffing round the internet
and much to your surprise
there is talk of a cure
right before your eyes

yes these phages are viruses
that cause no harm
and they surely love to eat
all the bacteria causing infection
that keep you off your feet

in fact right up the street
in the college so green
world renowned research is unfolding
do you know what I mean?

so here is a shout out to Kutter
Guttman
Braddan
Raja
and their crew
we appreciate your labor
and now we have a clue
