A Summer Cold
I've got a cold,
I`ve got sniffles and sneezes.
I`ve got chills and fever,
Because of the breezes,
That whistle around,
The eaves of my house,
Causing all to take cover,
Be it kin, cat or mouse.
I`ve vbeen dipped in the pond,
Called Misery.
Been sittin`here thinkinn`,
Pore pitiful me.
Can`t humm a tune,
To chase `way my blues,
Cause I lost my voice,
And my ears are plugged too.
The season of rains,
Is on us again,
And though we have need of them,
They bring with them,
The colds and the flu,
Of the ending of Summer,
And I don`t have to tell you,
It`s really a bummer.
Judy Ball
My head hurts, I`m dizzy,
I ache,
This ain`t no cold,
I got the flu.
(sigh)
