cold in the head
Is hardly a treat
Eyes swollen and red,
Nose pulled like a. beet.
To add to your woes,
Now hard to endure,
Each wiseacre knows
A dead certain cure.
Just poultice your chest
And bandage your head,
Or take a long rest,
Tucked Snugly in bed:-
They say soak your feet
And take caDnit tea,
One meal only eat
In place of three.
Or take few drops
OF dope twice a day;
Some nostrum that stOcS
A cough the bills say.
Oh, dear, and oh, pshaw!
Alas and alacki

To let you get back
At all of this crew:

To murder few;
There's plenty to spare.
