Chicken Pox
What’s the point of chicken pox?
Why don’t they collect the spots
and put them in a box?
Then take the box far out of town,
dig a hole and put it in the ground.
I don’t just mean my spots.
I mean everyone’s chicken pox spots.
From: Jelly Boots, Smelly Boots by Michael Rosen © 2016. Licensed under CLA. Do not copy or share.
We’d have to find people to collect the spots –
not just a few, we’d need lots and lots.
We’d have to choose special spot collectors,
we’d need some special spot inspectors.
The inspectors would decide if it was chicken pox or not,
the collectors would collect every chicken pox spot,
put them in bags, take them to a chicken pox dump,
then scoop the spots up into a great big lump,
stick the lump in a box and shut the lid tight,
drive the box away in the middle of the night,
dig a great big hole and bury the box,
and that’d be the end of chicken pox.

I will ‘look around’ for the key word ‘spots’. I can see one of the ideas is to gather all the spots together. I will ‘find and take’ the answer: collect the spots.
