Gute Besserung

Attention. This book may jeopardize your illness. For risks and side effects, make your own rhyme – and you'll save on doctor or pharmacist fees. Erich Kästner already wrote that cheerful, light-footed verses are the best medicine in all situations of life. Christoph Sutter, the renowned entertainment poet and author of over 2000 verses, aims to bring cheerfulness into the (sick) room with this collection of poems and to put a smile on the reader's face. Sample reading: There are two versions of being sick: The first one will not spare you, perhaps bringing catarrh and virus, forcing you into bed. The second version is worse than any experience in the sickroom: Today, both young and old will pale as they pay for insurance. Insurance for the sick, with all the high premium barriers, is likely only to ensure that even the perfectly healthy can fall ill.
