Billy's Wheezy Chest

by Lesley C Hind

Billy had a wheezy chest
constantly tight and short of breath
Winter, Summer it was all the same
His asthma spoiled his fun and games
Allergies, colds and exercise
Seemed to make his asthma thrive

One day he had a wheezing spasm
And Billy's doctor was quickly summoned
He prescribed for Billy a new inhaler
To try and calm his chesty caper
The nurse showed Billy how to use it
And warned him he must never lose it

Billy was back at school the next day
With his new inhaler tucked away
His friends ran into the yard to see him
Struggling to breathe, coughing and wheezing
Emma reached inside his jacket
And pulled out his inhaler gadget
A couple of puffs delivered the dose
To where his chest needed it most

Billy's inhaler was just the ticket
He now joins in with the football and cricket
A dose of inhaler before sport and play
Helps to keep his asthma at bay

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
