Years ago my grandmother used to tell me this story about the time she contracted Scarlet Fever. So I took her story and made it rhyme.

Scarlet Fever
Written 8/5/05 By Cassandra L Freiborg
The day the Scarlet Fever came,
They locked me up with all the blame,
And said that I was too sick for them to stay,
The day the Scarlet Fever came.
They locked me up inside my house,
With nary a friend within or out,
And left me there to rot in doubt,
The day the Scarlet Fever came.
They gave me on choice, a toy to have,
To help with me while the fever was bad,
And to a child, one toy is sad,
The day the Scarlet Fever came.
I chose a puzzle, with which I'd play,
To ease myself through the day,
And when this was done it'd be burned away,
The day the Scarlet Fever came.
