Woe is me

I gave the wife a peck on the cheek On Wednesday or Thursday sometime last week The following day she came down with the flu With fever and chills not much she could do By the weekend she was cured of her miserable ills Aided and abetted by Nyquil and pills On Sunday I noted my forehead was hot By Monday my nose was producing gallons of snot Snot taking turns with left nostril then right Kleenex abounded, Doggie scavenger delight Nose turning red from the multiple blows Snot backing up from my ears to my toes It hurt to stand up and it hurt to lie down My head was a pumpkin with a nose like a clown And the spigots kept squirting a river of green As the tissues kept mounting to the point of obscene Georgia Pacific grows its trees in a grove with my name A contribution to forestry for which I am to blame No good deed goes unpunished is the bane of the meek I advise you to be careful when you kiss your wife on her cheek Copyright 2009 Patrick A.

Is this the new "green economy" everyone keeps screaming about?

You need a good shot to the head man, that'll clear your sinuses, another to clear your sick sense of humour, I'll be right over, as soon as I stop laughing.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made, but I do take issue with some of it.
Whatever the bodily ills may be, I can't see cutting off the breathing as anything helpful. Looks like a design flaw to me.
But- snot up to me.
Sorry- a silly night apparently.
Feel better!
