How to Catch a Cold

Submitted by Hannah W. on Fri, 11/07/2008 - 01:30

To catch a cold,
to catch a chill:
I needed several things,
and you most certainly also will

You'll need some spider's webs
to make the perfect net
You'll need some bait:
warm cereal, preferably wet

You'll need some gloves,
and a camouflage hat,
so the cold doesn't see you,
or smell you and that

You'll want some cheese and crackers,
and a feather from a bird,
set up your trap, and then
do not say a word

Stay silent,
sit there,
waiting.
Waiting,
sit there
So silently

And along creeps a cold,
and along comes the chill...
And that's how I got a sneezing cough,
so YOU most certainly will!

This made me laugh! It sounds like A.A. Milne (I was just reading some winnie-the-pooh, and he is now one of my favorite authors)! Really good. I like it a lot!
