**WHEN YOU CATCH THAT <br /> FEVER! <br /> <br />When the body temperature exceeds the normal, - <br />The doctor says that you have got the fever on <br />you! <br />High fever can get you into a delirium, <br />And you could get admitted in the ICU! <br /> <br />One must guard oneself from the summer’s sun, <br />Take precaution from exhaustion and heat! <br />Wear those dark glasses and use a parasol, <br />And sun-tan lotion makes the picture complete! <br />Prevention is half the cure, is a saying which <br />is very true! <br />With cool butter milk and iced lemonades, <br />You can keep that heat off you! <br /> <br />Now there is another type of fever, more potent <br />than that ‘swine flu’! <br />It can strike you anywhere and at any time, <br />And you cannot take adequate precautions too! <br />When your heart starts to beat faster and a fever <br />rages all inside, <br />You get melancholic and delirious, - <br />When someone calls the doctor by your bedside! <br />When no temperature gets recorded, - <br />And the doctor looks concerned; <br />For you have caught the love’s fever, - <br />O! What a lovely way to burn! <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> 13 Jun 09 <br /> New Delhi <br />(Wanted to write a poem in the lighter vein!)<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-you-catch-that-fever/
