WHEN YOU COME DOWN
Once I came down with something strange. 1 can't say
what was it that kept me up but finally I blacked out
(nothing could bring me around) and came to only at
home. I threw up and my parents called in a doctor. He
came to check on my state and told me to rinse out the
mouth and shoot out my tongue. He saw that a rash
cropped up on my back. Then he returned his verdict. The
disease was a flu that would lay me up for about 2 weeks.
Perhaps the stomach was acting up, All the same, to throw
off the illness I had to look out for my health, sack out
early, taper off smoking and bundle up tight. He said that
he would check in on me to see how things came out if
he could work me in. Then he worked a medicine into my
back, patched it up, asked my parents to see after me and
said good-bye.
Soon I snapped out of my disease as fit as a fiddle.
