My nose is blocked,
I am deeply shocked,
I am, by cold, mocked,
My sleep is knocked.
How cold have I caught?
Where from, cold, I brought?
If the answers are sought,
The result is a big naught.
Up to yesterday, I was alright,
I slept soundly during the night,
Suddenly cold declared a fight,
Nothing can stop its great might.
There is no cure for this cold,
Whether a person is young or old,
Many medicines are being sold,
But, before the cold, none is bold.
Many medicines glut the market,
But, none is useful even a tiny bit,
Taking its own is this cold's habit,
None can so far arrest this culprit.
Cold can be shrewdly avoided,
Through a precautionary method,
"Cold is Contagious" is rightly said,
To prevent the cold, use your head.
For heaven's sake, do not handshake,
Others' kerchief, don't ignorantly take,
Careful strategies, you have to make,
Or the cold will give you head-ache.
Air also spreads this disease,
It stays for a week's lease,
Many times, you will sneeze,
To get cured, wait please.
When you become cold's victim,
Your bright looks turn so dim,
You can't exercise in the gym,
Say a hymn to be saved by Him.
Cold can never be easily beaten,
Though cold may badly threaten,
It will loosen its hold, not tighten,
And help your face finely brighten.
Drink not water kept in a fridge or pot,
Let water that is used be fairly hot,
This will help to end cold surely a lot,
If severe cold is by you somehow got.
Cold is still eluding the medical section,
It sets in because of viral infection,
Cold is of course a clear indication,
Of the body's weak immune condition!
