Fever
Who put the ice cubes in my shoes?
It is ninety degrees, strange I feel so cold...
How long did I sleep? It is dark outside, is today Wednesday?
If I move it will hurt, so I'll just stay here,
Who's calling please? Oh the hospital, yes I have been walking
and using the breathing device. My thermometer must be broke
it says my temp. is one hundred point five.
What? Hey honey... I am fine, I am just cold... Why should I call the doctor??
Well he said let him know when the funeral arrangements are, he might come to the
services.
(I am ok really-just came to my mind.)
