Sick again? I hope I am not!
Don’t Tell me I am Sick Again…? My head does pound, And my knees do shake, And in between I feel like I ache, Have I again got the virus, or the flu? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-choooooooooo! Time again to start the pills, Take the temperature; drink fluids against my will, Sleep I got so little last night, awoke at 5am, Tonight I hope to get more, at least this time till it gets light. Still have to go to work, will not give up and just stay in bed, Bills have to be paid, rent is due or over, And my dog does need food as well; yes Rover (Rufuz), For me to eat, I do not care, a grilled cheese sandwich & soup, That is enough for this old body, while I do recoup. So here I go again, more sniffles, more coughs, allergies this is not, The worst part is the constant drain down my throat of snot… © ed – 6/1\04

Sick write…lol. You know what I mean, Poet!!! I hope You feel better in the morning. And, maybe if You stopped slipping in the mud and bathing Rufuz, in the yard, You wouldn’t be getting sick all the time. Now take two aspirins, and put the lime in the coconut, and hop into bed, and you should be more better by tomorrow!!! Peace thru Rest!!!
