Inside a human it hides away
And that is where it will stay
It doesn’t like humans you see
Well at least it didn’t like me
Ah Ha found out by a man in white
It whined and sniveled and said it’s sorry
And told me that I needn’t worry
Alas it broke its unsteady word
Then didn’t undo the mayhem it stirred!
Back then I didn’t know what
I didn’t know when and didn’t know how
Nowadays it’s back in its cage
Minus a bit of anger and rage!
We’ve gone from pens to pumps
Along with lots of lumps and bumps
Plus a few family grumps
But hurrah we’ve made the jump!
BECAUSE WE ARE THE DIABEATORS!!!
