thin king

Good morning,

One microscopic needle and a little bit of juice


Island country green city
Grow flowers plant big trees
Do your part claim relief
Income tax make easy

Come Aedes bring dengue
High fever so deadly
Prevention way to see
No rainwater Aedes free

Flower pots estates HDB
Hold water breed plenty
First warning then penalty
Repeat act one grand see

Fog garden check all vessels
Chase bushes scare the toads
Every nook same old thing
No new ideas pest continue

Clean city litter free
Cover drains neat and tidy
Aedes come no entry
Sleep peaceful no worry

New nursery breeds Aedes
Construction sites so many
Multiply fast no one see
Then dengue epidemic

Now big hunt for Aedes
Flower pots roof gutters
Inside houses building sites
Covered drains big culprit

Minister walks big effort
More breeding drains uncovered
Sight ugly drains all choked
Aedes breed thousand hundreds

Minister sweeps all drains clean
Dengue stay Aedes reign
Problem triumph no end found
Rate contained within bounds

Building laws quickly passed
Now gutters no more required
More research Aedes to curb
Plenty spent pests remain

All and sundry penalised
Contractors pay hefty fines
But Environment Minister
Walks and talks with cutie smile

Great island around all sea
No jungle all buildings
Air salty exhaust gas
One wonders this Aedes thing


Have a nice day
Ronald
