_Lassa diva_
A global trigger
Sweeping like river
_A deadly cleaver_
_A haemorrhagic virus_
A dangerous traitor
From _Arena Viridae_ sector
_And rodent as vector_
_Africa the real trace_
Nigeria on daily chase
Putting toes on a race
_Cutting across all race_
_Currently at FETHA_
On a mission to litter
Three dead on the row
_More lives on death row_
_Symptoms of bleeding_
With pains and vomiting
Deafness and weakness
_And general loss of fitness_
_Contact with body fluids_
Contaminated with this dude
A highway to spread
_A pathway to dread_
_Quarantine and surveillance_
Extermination of rodents
Are public health measures
_Against Lassa diva oppression_
_Extra alert_
Against _Lassa_ attack
As no vaccine to avert
_Its infection apart_
Great _AMLSN and MLS_
The great duty calls
We must stand up tall
_To keep our Labs from fall_
_Lassa diva_
Casta diva
A dance with this diva
_Is like playing with Shiva_
_SAY NO TO LASSA FEVER_
