When You Catch Love's Fever !

WHEN YOU CATCH LOVE'S FEVER ! When the body temperature exceeds the normal, - The doctor says you have got the fever on you ! High fever can get you into a delirium, - And you could get into the ICU ! One must guard oneself from the summer’s sun, Take precaution from exhaustion and heat! Wear those dark glasses and use a parasol, And sun-tan lotion makes the picture complete! Prevention is half the cure, is a saying which is very true! With cool butter milk and iced lemonades, You can keep that heat off you! Now there is another type of fever, more potent than the ‘swine flu’ ! It can strike you anywhere and at any time, And you cannot take adequate precautions too ! When your heart starts to beat faster , - And a fever rages all inside ; You get melancholic and delirious, - When someone calls the doctor by your bedside ! When no temperature gets recorded, - And the doctor looks all concerned ! For you have caught the 'Love’s Fever' , - Oh ! What a lovely way to burn ! -Raj Nandy New Delhi (The poem was written in 2009 and posted in 'poemhunter.com' .Thanks for reading ! )
