Read the poem below and answer the questions which follow.

Sick

Don’t breathe next to me!

You might get me sick.

Your nose is so red

That it looks like a brick.

Your eyes are all puffy

You’re sneezing a lot.

I’m leaving the room;

I don’t want to get what you’ve got.

Don’t cough when I’m here-

You might pass it on.

For goodness sakes, cover your mouth when you yawn.

And don’t touch m food,

Lest your cooties adhere,

Thus making me sick

For the rest of the year.

The last thing I need

Is a cold or a flu,

And so I am thinking

I’ll bid you adieu

I’m much better off

Wherever you’re not-

Don’t breathe next to me;

I don’t want what you’ve got!

-Unknown
