The common cold is quite a bore, It makes you feel like such a chore; Your nose is runny, your throat is sore, You can’t do anything anymore. You sneeze and cough and blow your nose, And all you want to do is doze; You feel like you’ve been hit with blows, And you can’t even smell a rose. But don’t you worry, don’t you fret, This cold will soon be gone, I bet; Just take some rest and don’t forget, To drink some tea and get some sweat. So let this cold just run its course, And don’t let it become a force; Just take some time to rest, of course, And soon you’ll be back on your horse!
