A good advice

[Rosenblüte]

Once Professor Cheng Man Ching
said: "Forget 'bout everything
which the western doctors told
how to fight a lousy cold.

Just sit down beside your bed,
on the bed-post place your hat,
drink some Scotch, so my advice,
'til your hat appears there twice.

Go to sleep now, don't be sad,
have sweet dreams and a good sweat.
If the cold beats the advice,
just repeat this treatment thrice!"
