oh my chest does rumble strong and tight

a sneeze from me causes quite the fright
My nose is runny but stopped up too
I just don't know how both can be true
I've rolls of tissues trailing after me
the cats do chase adding insult to injury

Oh to be well, a dream for sure
A full drawn breath, oxygen pure
how I long for sleep uninterrupted
or to taste just once what i supped-ted
an oath i udder in my wheezy rattle
to the germy invaders waging this battle

A prisoner in my bed I will no longer be
I have my heart set on sewing you see
I'm on a short deadline and down a day
Catch up I must and without delay
So I gathered my medicine and set my trap
but alas I'm now worn out and need a nap.

  3. Brooke.......that is a GREAT poem!!! Have you ever tried to write some things and submit them for publication??? As a retired English teacher, I think you have some real potential!!! Feel better soon. (I think we both have the same thing....and the lack of SLEEP caused by it is the pits, isn't it?)
