Clever idea! I have no musical talent whatsoever, but look forward to hearing the winners. Maybe they can perform live in concert at the APHA Annual Meeting in November!
I can't sing, but how about a limerick?
There once was a girl from Route 2,
Handwashing, a thing she did not do.
Germs and viruses invaded,
So in bed she lay sedated.
Sneezing, wheezing and snuffling with flu.
Check out the facebook group for the song contest for additional information! The group is called "write a sick song - win and iPod".
