So long ago, well, cells were still happy
And lived in a body, t’was strong and not shabby
But somewhere in there
Did not so well fare
Were some cells who had their lives hard and quite scrappy
And so many proteins, all throughout the cells
Wanted to just break out, right out of their shells
They wanted more space,
A roomier place,
They turned to neighboring lands looking to dwell
Now there was one cell they called Austro-Hungary,
And there were some parts in him he found quite scary
A lysosome came,
Of Serbian name,
Who took out some organelles deemed necessary
The Austro-Hungarian cell gets quite upset
And then they give the Serbian lysosome threats
They had someone’s trust
Germanovirus
And declare war when all their demands ain’t met
But France and the Russians are friends with the lys
And they think the Serbs are really quite nice
And through membrane proteins
Entered the two pro teams
And brought with them a new cell fighting device
Now this cellular war was a war of great mass
And soon the parties brought H2 O2 gas
They killed off each cell,
Made everything hell,
While endocytosis just crushed cells like glass
New weapons and immune systems kept on raging
While stalemates ‘tween viruses and cells kept waging
But then at long last
The fight came to pass
When Germanovirus had a forced disengaging
But trouble for Germanovirus came soon
As lack of glucose and ATP ensued
With no jobs around
No energy found
The Germans had nothing to eat; had no food
Germanovirus, he hated this fate
He rallied the proteins to restore the state
His support soon milled
His opponents killed
As he told all proteins that he’d make them great.
He riled the cell up with anger in store
Coaxed them into fighting, keep fighting some more
And… well you can guess
Just what happened next
As soon came the fight for the Second Cell War
