You have a small cough,
you feel a bit sick,
you take some cold meds
and hope it won’t stick.
I look at your health,
and feel some pity.
I try to help out
by being witty.
While mostly I fail,
sometimes I succeed
to bring you that smile
you desperately need.
Doctors are helpful
and medicine too,
but I think laughter
is better for you.
