191. Diseased

"Hand, Foot, and Mouth"
That's what the doctor said
"That's why he's hot and mean,
That's why those bumps are red."

"But he's been home with me,"
I jumped right in and said.
"No one's been around,
Our house is like the dead."

But somehow my poor boy
Had got quite infected
And now he's got these bumps
From toe up to his head.

I wondered how he got it.
Could it be in his bed?
Could he have got it from
The mud back in the shed?

But now I do not wonder.
I caught him flaming red.
He didn't eat his dinner.
He ate his poop instead.

It happened in the bathtub.
It wasn't that widespread.
But now there is no question.
My little boy's diseased.
