Remember!
YOU ALONE reign supreme in
your own kitchens
Buy all your food when it is fresh,
Don't handle when you choose it,
Do store it in a nice cool spot
Until it's time to use it.
Protect it also from the dust
And animals and vermin;
Keep out the vulgar feeding flies
Who might bring some food germ in.
Wash hands as often as you can,
Especially after toilet;
Imagine what the food could do
If dirty hands did soil it.
So if you have a septic spot
On body, hands or face,
Please treat and cover right away
Lest germs do spread apace.
