Sorry if you got misled by the title! You probably thought you will find a genuine method on how to prevent a cold. Actually, this little suggestion is a hilarious take on how not to catch a cold. I had come across it in an old issue of Woman and Home magazine.
Catche not the Colde - an old remedy
Now 'tis the season of coughing and chills
Hearken ye how to escape from these ills
'Tis not from the damp – as was formerly tolde,
But from the other folks' germs ye be catching the colde.
Prevention, 'tis said, is better than cure,
So go fill your hat with some farmyard manure.
Then wear ye the hat through all the day long
And none will approach for the terrible pong !
Wasn't that a real stinker?!!
On the brighter side, the cold season drops in on us during the wonderful festive season of Christmas.
