A/N: I do not own Neopets. Well, I do, actually, four of them, but that's not what I mean. :) The company belongs to Adam and Donna and whoever else created the site.

With a cough and a tear
There was absence of doubt
Upon my dear pet
Was a poisonous bout

Of an ailment so awful
An illness so rare
Her sputters and mutters
Were beyond my care

And as the day passed
The symptoms got worse
Was it fault of her owner -
Or of some sort of curse?

I trudged to the doctor
And - alas! - it was true
My suffering pet
Was struck with NeoFlu

Feeling quite somber
The wizard I sought
Searching and hoping
A cure could be bought

And crossing my fingers
(My pet crossed her paws)
We found a cheap price
With great joy and 'hurrah!'s

I fed her the pills
And her health was assured
Yes, my poor sickly pet
Was finally cured!
