Care Package

A stomach virus laid me out,
My husband down as well
And then we were surprised to hear
Somebody ring the bell.

Two bags delivered to our door
With Gatorade and soup,
Saltines and even Alka-Seltzer,
Quite a sickbed group.

Our son arranged to save the day
With Amazon – the Prime – 
To help recuperation
And give fodder for my rhyme!

Ilene, you have a caring son. Stomach bugs aren't fun at all. Hope you and your husband are feeling better. ~ Sonia
