Most
people say a virus gimme this cold
The pain and exhaustion have taken hold
They've taken hold and left me limp
With mind that's weak and a fever that's strong
You sneeze sixteen times, what do you get?
Another head throbbing and tissue that's wet.
Oh, children, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
My nose is a'drippin' and my brain is slow!
It was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I rose from my bed, and I thought I was fine
I sneezed sixteen times and I started to cough
And my husband said "Better take some time off"

It was worse next mornin', my nose drizzlin' rain
Hackin' and wheezin' are my middle name
I was dazed by the Nyquil that I drained last night
Cain't no antibiotic help me win this fight

If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta you didn't, outta stupid pride
One giant sneeze, a great big cough
If the first one don't a-get you
Then the second one will

The famous Megan sent me this. I just forwarded to a dozen others who will approve. Good n clever writers are a rare breed. Adding your blog to my RSS feeds. A pleasure to meet you. Jan, an ex-colleague of Megan's.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Now I will undoubtedly get a big head and try to take over the universe. If I succeed, you will have a prime spot as a beloved minion.
ReplyDeleteI minion only to those who dazzle me with their correct semicolon usage. A girl's gotta have her standards.
ReplyDeleteThough you may cut a break because your idea of tidying up means alphabetizing the stack of books. I regret to confess that I live in the guest room of a used books store owner who once let go a staffer who didn't respect alphabetizing and instead wanted to reshelve all the books by color.
This man, at home, has his CDs, DVDs, and Blurays all alphabetized. Makes me feel so much better about my own OCD.
Should he ever dare to raise his hand to me, I will retaliate by tying him to a bed and forcing him to watch me refold all his state road maps WRONG. Yes, I am really that cruel.

Beautifully written. Nothing like a good cold to give a wordmaster inspiration!
