I am a fierce and ferocious beast,nThough I'm sure you cannot tell.nI take my pills and medicine,n'Cause I don't feel so well.nMy head is stuffed, my nose it runs.nIt hurts my throat to speak;nI'm a brontosaurus with bronchitis,nI've been like this for a week.nnI'm acting rather civilizednBut it's not that I've been tamed,nI can't go romping with my friendsn'Cause my throat is all inflamed.nThey say I look emaciated.n(That means I've gotten thin).nMom feeds me tea with lemon,nGrandpa drops the nose drops in.nnGrandma makes Cro-Magnon soup,nDad give me vitamin C,nMom gives me lots of orange juice,nAnd lets me watch TV.nAll covered up in a fevered sweat,nMy throat and chest both hurt.nBut I get to watch The FlintstonesnAnd have jello for desert.
