Bugaboo

Aches in my joints; am I just growing old? Heat is blasting, but I’m shivering cold I won’t admit it Not for one minute That a flu bug’s bitten and taken hold *For Gwen’s “Sneezing Limerick” Contest

Too bad Black Flag won't take care of that kind of bug. Good writing as usual, Carolyn.

A very nice descriptive limerick, man it's even worse getting sick during the Holidays, best of luck in the contest, Greg.

What a clever little write you have written! I love it! Plus this poem is so so true...I hate getting the flu! So very awful! I hope you don't have the flu! If so, drink plenty of fluids(mainly water) and make sure you get plenty of rest! Great poem, awesome work!!
