Francine Roberts Poet Rhyme

I Hate Being Sick

I hate being sick,
I don't do it well.
My private pity party
Is going just swell.

I cough and I sneeze,
My nose is running away.
I've taken my cold meds
Trying to keep it at bay.

I hate having a cold
And feeling so weak.
At least this fever
Has reached it's peak.

I must end this poem now,
You know how it goes.
It's time to get up again 
And go blow my nose.

Gerard Keogh Jr. December 11, 2010 at 5:07 PM This should be to a nursery rhyme. It has that innocent cadence. I hope that you feel better. It is miserable being sick, especially as you get older. Regards and thanks from Gerard.
