In its clutches...

A cold since last week,
Has gotten down my beak,
Making me feel less than myself,
Summer colds are the pits...


Poem Artwork

A summer cold,
Does pretty quick get old,
Can’t sleep at night,
This really bites…

It’s been a long time,
Since a cold has put me down,
Post nasal drip & coughing,
A fun time is in the offing…

But I will, I suppose, survive,
To the other side I will eventually arrive,
Tylenol & decongestants keep me alive,
I won’t be into the ocean anytime soon, taking a dive…

That great big "IC" in the middle of your caricature may be a subliminal indication that you have an ice cold, or better yet, an "icy cold," and probably need, an icy hot. Get my drift? ;-)

Probably taking those ocean dives was what got you in the shape you're in, just guessing. Whadda I know?
