Chickenpox Romance
A guy , mid 30s and widowed
takes chickenpox real bad
calamine lotion profits are up
the itch is driving him mad
Eventually it all eases up
so decides to take holiday break
to recuperate after being ill
goes to lakes to eat local mint cake
Before leaving home receives get well card
from girl he had only occasionally met
so gets away to the lakes
has restful time recovering no fret
One day there reads the card
which says 'hope you get better'
he thinks that's nice of her
so he writes a thank you letter
As they say rest is history
they dated, engaged and got wed
now next year is silver anniversary
so beware next time you've itch on head!
AUTHOR NOTES: A little secret : the guy is me!
