Sick!

I'm SICK!
The pain won't go away!
Could it be the chili dog for breakfast that I ate?

I'm SICK!
My stomach is aflame!
I feel it in my ovaries, I swear it is doomsday!

I'm SICK!
My head is a balloon!
Give me pills, give me shots, the end is coming soon!

I'm SICK!
I hear noise, what's that ruckus?
It hurts in places normally only my swimsuit touches!

I'm SICK!
Don't stand there, tapping your feet!
Call up House M.D., E.R., get Gray's Anatomy!!!

I'm SICK!
My time is drawing nigh!
Take me off the donor list, these organs here are MINE!

I'm SICK!
I'm too young for heaven!
Please, God, I can't die, I have kids and a wife, so don't take me, TAKE THEM!

I'm SICK!
Wait, what's that? Snow outside?
No school today? I Feel OK! Don't worry so much next time!
