Eileen Manassian Poet Limerick

My Germ Filled Limerick

My nose is redder than red
The flu has put me in bed
I sniffle and drip
I can’t get a grip
For there’s pure lead in my head

Coughed up a poem or two
That might not make sense to you
The germs and the phlegm
Have covered this gem
Clean it, for it is…true blue!

It’s been a miserable day
Been grumpy all the way
But for this great SOUP
You guys are the scoup
Much better than meds…. I’ll say!

Lucilla Carrillo March 9, 2013 at 5:17 PM Girl; you are good. You can write a poem of anything. Thanks for reading my ABC poem. I made a few mistakes, but I went back and fixed them. I have not been feeling good myself. Eat hot soup and drink hot tea. Lucilla Eileen Manassian March 10, 2013 at 12:08 AM Lucilla, dear. I've had to edit umpteen times. That's why I wrote the poem, EDIT EDIT EDIT! My pleasure to read your heartfelt work! Sorry you aren't well, my dear! Do take care, and get better soon! Hugs!

Timothy Hicks March 9, 2013 at 4:24 PM This is a funny little tribute to P-Soup... Light reading is much more calming (and less damaging to the body) then meds. Be sure to drink lots of tea and rest often! Love the middle stanza the best. Eileen Manassian March 10, 2013 at 12:09 AM Thanks, Timothy. I'm trying to get better. This seems to have been the worst bout ever! Glad you liked it! :) Cheers!
