Samantha Cinderella Scottwas told she'd have to have a shotThe doctor said, You're somewhat sick;I think a shot should do the trick.He said, You shouldn't feel a thing,except perhaps a tiny sting,a painless prick1, a poke2, a pinch.It shouldn't even make you flinch3.You won't begin to bleat4 or bawl5.I doubt that it will hurt at all.I don't expect to see it bruise6or swell7 your arm and start to ooze8.There's little chance of belly9 achesor fevers, chills or sudden shakes.It's not supposed to cause a cough.Your arm will likely not fall off.I'm guessing that there won't be lotsof itchy red and purple spots.Convulsions, too, are fairly rare.I think you'll get to keep your hair.In fact, the chance is nearly nil10that you'll become intensely ill,or grow a ghastly greenish hue11,or turn into a kangaroo.It's nearly certain that you'll notbecome a fish or flowerpot.I'm quite convinced it's fair to sayyou won't turn into mush today.But if you start to shake and coughor if your head should tumble off,if you become a moose or mule12you'll get a day away from school.Samantha Cinderella Scotttook just a moment, deep in thought,then yawned the slightest little yawn,and told the doctor Bring it on!
