The Cold

            Cough Cough

            Sneeze Sneeze

            Oh my, what’s wrong with me!

            It must just be a cold,

            It will be fine.

            But maybe it’s not a cold,                        Come on, you came back from the café,

            Maybe it’s something serious.                     Now, wash your hands.


            No, no I’ll be fine                                But I don’t want to wash my hands,
            I’ll get better in some time.                     Anyways, I already applied for sanitizer.
                                                              The doctor said we could do either,

            Ooh! It’s so nice today! Let’s go running,        I should just be safe and wash my
            No, no you’ll get way too tired.                  hands.


            I’m going out to visit Kashmir,                   My sickness is getting worse,

            Bu t is it really safe to go to places now?       I have a fever now.
            Yeah, just don’t touch anyone or                  Shouldn’t I go see the doctor?
            anything and you’ll be fine.                       No, it would be a waste of time,

            Ugh...it’s so hot outside,                        I’m telling you, you’ll be fine.


            I don’t want to wear a mask at all.               I’m so glad, I saw the doctor on time;

            So don’t wear one!                                Turns out I had the coronavirus.

            But what if I catch the virus?                    It could have been the end of my life.

            Oh, you won’t, you’ll be fine.
                                                              The doctor told me that I should try to
            Wasn’t I supposed to meet my friends?             eat healthier,
            Yes, now go!                                      And exercise a bit more.

            But what if my sickness spreads?                  I should wash my hands daily,

            It’s just a cold, it won’t spread                 And to try not to go outside.
            Or would you rather just lay in bed?              I should wear a mask,
                                                              And stay aware of my health.


            What should I eat at the café,
            Maybe a delicious burger,                         Now you know, that your health matters
            Or a boring salad?                                a lot,


            Some crunchy chips,                               So don’t try and be a perfect robot.
            Or a leaf of lettuce                              If you’re sick, take some days off,

            I think I’ll take the burger and the chips.       So you can get better.

            But that’s so unhealthy!
            That doesn’t matter, it tastes better.            By Pragya Prasad   |   VI-B
