On Being Sick

The Doctor comes and feels your pulse,
She frowns and shakes her head.
She says, "You need some medicine,
And then it's off to bed!"
She tells you that you need to rest,
Or you'll be very sick.
But if you do just as she says,
You'll get well pretty quick!

You may not have an appetite,
Your throat or tummy's sore,
But when you're feeling better,
You'll get sweets and treats galore!
The Doctor says to feed you things
Like jello and ice cream...
"Hey, Mom, I could get used to this,
The menu is a dream!"
