Sunday Poem: “House Calls”

 

Canadian doctors

asked to volunteer in West Africa,

help fight Ebola.

 

Some answer the call.

 

Others may prepare

for the greater challenge

of going to Disney,

fight measles.

 

(Editor’s note: poet Shai Ben-Shalom, an Israeli-born biologist, examines current events in the Blacklock’s tradition each and every Sunday)
