I caught a virus today
and where I went
I gave it away

Before I knew it many were down
cause the ones who caught it
passed it around

I didn't have the sniffles or sneezes
It wasn't a cold, the flu
or the wheezes

It wasn't from eating off dirty dishes
from shaking of hands
coughing or kisses

Very quickly, it easily spread
from a frown, a gesture
or angry word said

So if this virus comes your way
just give it a smile
and keep your good day

If you catch it it's sure to spread
from person to person
and head to head

So true...our moods and attitudes can spread more quickly than any physical virus can.
