Motion Sickness

The world spins
Faster than a Ferris wheel
Quick quick quick
To make a young girl squeal

3rd rock from the sun
Isn't steady, but sure can be fun
Quick quick quick
The cloud images become moving pictures

Free entertainment
But
Vomitting has yet to begun

At the pace of the man on the street
Yelling obscenities
And waving a gun

Nope, that's not fun 
Not at all

I know the feeling, Autumn, it's not fun and you're not alone. Mine is even worse: I'm aboard a car or a bus that makes a sudden turn or a sudden stop...and that's all it takes to turn on the motion sickness that then stays continuously for three months or longer, forcing me to live off Dramamine tablets on a daily basis! A 35-year curse. So I know the feeling, you can bet I do. Now you stay away from them ferris wheels...and stay healthy. Fred
