A Ruddy Zombie

Some days I wake up smiling Today's sure not one of those days Caught some kind of a flu bug Wanna sleep the whole day away Feel like a ruddy zombie Got no drive, no get up and go No longer a reason for living I've come to the end of the show Hide the pills and the liquor Get rid of the knives and weapons Feel like harming little animals Looking for bugs to step on Normally charming and lovable But when bugs invade my body Don't handle the invasion very well This nasty man gets really snotty Eventually I'll get back to normal To my sweet and lovable self Until then, please bear with me Don't feel like a big happy elf! © Jack Ellison 2012
Have no fear... wrote this a while ago. Today I'm fit as a fiddle and feeling fine!

The flu is never fun! Can make the best of us real grumpy and blue. Thankfully, doesn't last forever thank goodness. Always, Laura

I hope you feel better... Get Cathy to tuck you in... She'll take good care of you. PS Remember the roses afterward with another romantic poem for her... After all... You may owe her if she catches anything, after caring for you.
