I am fungi

A reversible poem
I’m appalling
So why would people say that
I contribute to the circles of life
In fact
I destroy them
And you can’t convince me that
I’m vital to forests
I tell you
F isn’t for Fungi, It’s for Failure
It’s not true that
I clean the planet
It is true that
I’m responsible for athletes’ foot
Even though they say
I’m vital to forests
They also say
I’m responsible for human diseases
So why would you think
I’m remarkable
