Romance Foiled

To Valentines Day I am true
The joy of a score means...yahoo!
Sex is a pleasant
Heart holiday present
Now ruined since I’ve caught the flu

I haven't been sick. I do get migraines though. But I do my best to stop them from coming on. But your limerick made me laugh Happy Easter Duke :)

Happy Easter to you too, Debbie. Do you get flashes of light in one eye and then pain on the opposite side of your head, or just bad headaches sometimes. What is it about our culture that causes us to have so many headaches?

Yes, based on a true event. I had to take a half a tab of a strong pain killer during the sickness. Something I haven't done since the last kidney stone. The flu gets worse the older we get. Michael, you are a real treasure.

longest time friend. You've just exhibited to the highest quality exactly what I have missed in here for months. Your lines are so exciting and your words are each having that second hand of drawing me back to them again and again and again irrespective of how many times I have gone through them. Its nice to be home and you are part of the reason I have this refreshing feeling. A definite 7. Cheers!

It always seems that something gets in the way, but we will be forever the optimist. There is always hope! You are very kind--as always.
