Stop that cough

To stop that awful cough
You just get out your cloth
A handkerchief will do
Same deal as with
The sore throat remedy!
Warm moist wet handkerchief
Placed upon the chest
Covered with plastic wrap
Then covered with a warm cloth
Bound around the whole body!
The blood rushes to that area
Cleansing the lungs & easing
The poor soul's awful cough!
My son was sick for a week
Wouldn't let me ease his cough
He could sleep at all: neither could we
It became so difficult to cope
Until I finally got the nod!
"Okay mum just put that silly thing on!"
So we covered up that chest
Got his body working with him
To ease that painful cough!
Not a single cough to be heard!
On my word: that blessed sound of silence!
Was a most wonderful blessing to be sure!
