On a day like today,

In a land far away,

There was Captain Coo,

Who did what doctors do.

I like to give medical advice,

and curing people is very nice.

On his journey to Health Island,

he travels Vitamin Sea,

helping sick animals, So they can be free.

A day went by,

And as he fixes his sails,

He sees something in the distance, and says:

Look! It must be the wheezing whales!

Captain Coo, we are under the weather.

Captain Coo is a strong believer,

that their symptoms are coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and fever.

Dr. Coo tips off,

It must be a whooping cough!

These antibiotics can solve it.

And sleep and hydration will definitely dissolve it.

Thank You!

Along came the dolphins, with diabetes type one.

Captain Coo had noticed their symptoms were a ton.

The symptoms include hunger, weight loss, and dehydration.

Captain Coo says that insulin is the best medication!

The best way to prevent it is with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Monitoring your blood sugar would also be wise.

Half way through his journey, it starts to get dark.

As the moon arises, so do the shivering sharks.

Captain Coo sees their symptoms are coughs, runny noses, and a sore throat.

Luckily he has antibiotics and water on his boat!

I recommend relaxation and rest, so you guys can feel your best!

On Vitamin Sea, Captain Coo sees in the distance,

Chicken pox crabs who need some assistance.

The crabs have red spots that are outrageous,

And Captain Coo says that they are highly contagious.

Symptoms may include fever and stomach aches,

But the crabs will do whatever it takes.

A vaccination is a good way to go,

And over-the-counter medicines can make the symptoms low.

Almost at the island, Captain Coo hears a cry,

He sails to the manatees so he can see why.

WAHHH!

The measle manatees have symptoms of runny nose and red eyes.

Also including coughing and fever, with body temperatures to rise.
