The anxious parents carried their baby into the doctor’s office

Telling the doctor the baby had a cough

The doctor examined the baby and confirmed something was in his lungs

Keven the cough knew his time was up

This baby would soon be getting medication that would irritate Kevin

Time to move on and find another baby host to hang out inside

Kevin was a good cough and never life threatening

He was at worst a mildly annoying cough

Kevin wandered down to the daycare center looking for a new host

A dozen infants we’re being cared for

He approached the first one and somebody yelled at him

Find another kid man,  I am already inside this one

So Sorry said Kevin and he moved to the next one quietly

Slipping inside and settling in the lungs for a nap

He woke up when the kid was being taken home

Stealing some food and milk passing by as the child got fed

This baby food is quite tasty thought Kevin

These parents obviously buy the right food for their kid

He was settling down for the night so Kevin went to sleep too

Kevin woke up sweating and sensed something was wrong

The kid was overheating because he had too many blankets

He had to act fast or the kid may overheat and have a seizure

Kevin started jumping up and down in the lungs 

Soon the child was coughing and waking up

Kevin continued to jump around and irritated the infant who cried loudly

The parents picked up the noise and rushed in

Picking up the baby and comforting him

This room is far too hot said the mother turn down the thermostat

OK and Lets put one less blanket on him said the father

Kevin was relieved that the parents were learning

Especially these folks who already had two older children and should know better

He was amazed how inexperienced some parents were

Frequently he had to intervene to bring attention to things

Kevin was like the good samaritan cough

He had been working the infant population all his short life

If you could chose a cough for your child it would certainly be Kevin

Kevin often went walkabout during the night

Once everybody was asleep he decided to sneak downstairs and watch TV

As he was walking down the stairs a voice yelled out to him

Where do you think you are going?
