As we entered the C.D.C.
"What do you want?" A voice spoke.
"A chance!" I replied.
"That's asking a lot these days folks!"

Extend my hand cautiously.
"Rick Grimes!"
"Dr. Edwin Jenner"
Man in white lab coat replies!

"Any of you infected?"
Jenner said.
"One of us was," I told him.
"He didn't make it he's dead!

Price of admission
Submit to blood test.
We all agreed.
Now maybe we could rest!

Andrea was last one
To have their blood drawn.
She almost fainted
As none of us had food for days to go on!
