Measles

Kiss the crab

Catch the cold

Pinch the skin

To inflict pain

Dark as the sails

On the pirate ship

Lost at sea

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Note: anyone who thinks that the "dark sails" is a referal to the Black Pearl ship in Pirates of the Carribean is wrong, this poem was written long before that movie came out
