Bugged By the Bug

Cough medicine? (CRAP...No re-fill!) See a doctor? (DARNED if I will!) I'm achin' to the toes (Got a code in my doze) Where the HECK did I hide the Ny-Quil?

VERY good limerick, Tim!! About that sonnet, I divided the stanzas like i would do with paragraphs, where it felt right. I did not realize I did it 7/5 (those are my numerology numbers!) What a coincidence. The rhyme scheme is still traditional for sonnets. One poet here told me she didn't like seeing all my sonnet lines together, though many sonnets are written that way. But I thought I'd try to make her happy, if she ever comes across that particular one. thanks for your comment. LUv, Andrea

Soo funny, Tim, but I was hoping you were feeling better by now. I love everything said as asides in parentheses. Come on and shake that "code in (your) doze." I see we share a distaste for doctors. Great limerick; you do well in this form! Love, Carolyn
