burst of creativity...

THE GREAT PLAGUE OF COPSEWOOD, JANUARY 2006

Monday morning, fresh and new.

Some children, poorly with the 'flu,

Have stayed at home today it seems

For Fear of giving other teens

The nasty bug.

Yet some have braved

It into school, though sleep they craved.

A weary band of strugglers they,

But some did not quite last the day.

Better then, at close of play,

To rest until it goes away;

And stay at home to stop them sharing

Bugs with others, that's more caring.
