Winter Bugs - Now a Collaboration

Lin, sorry to hear, as I am sick too
But I know it's not covid or the flu
Been blowing my raw nose
Sneezing still comes and goes
Maybe this cold needs a brandy or two

Written by Tania Kitchin


Hi poets, I've not been ignoring you
I've been battling the naughty germ, the flu
Writing this just to say
Feeling better today
I'll catch up on comments. Merci beaucoup!

Written by Lin Lane


Poor Tania and Lin are both ailing
I’m healthy but my muse is sailing
Away on a cruise
So I’ve got the blues
My chagrin is not worth detailing!

Written by Jan Allison


What I'm about to tell you is no lies
And it may come to you as a surprise
That all your sneezes
And all your wheezes
Are caused by covid virus in disguise

Written by Tom Cunningham


Tania and Lin, want to make a confession
They went out on the town for a session
But some bug sneezed in their wine,
On his way back from Des Moine’s
Now Feds have nailed him for indiscretion

Written by David Kavanagh


Poor Tania and Lin are both sick
In blighty we say Tom and Dick
But struck by girl flu
We men would boo hoo
So I’m getting out of here QUICK!

Written by Terry Flood


Our friends, Lin and Tania- feeling ill
Seems they both have a cough, cold...and a chill
They wrote each other a letter
To make each other feel better
So, their hubbies could get back on the pill

Written by Charles Messina


Everyone feels sick at the same darn time
This is a get well limerick in rhyme
No more sneezing issues
You've used all the tissues
Drink some tequila and suck on a lime!"

This is certainly nothing to sneeze at...and proves that good writers can find poetry in just about any subject. And, I, too, guys and girls, am sorry that you are being "bugged" with winter woes. A very good selection for POTD, at any rate.

Hilarious! Every sniffle divulged, snotrags trashed, every ache articulated. Blimey! These limericks are vainglorious! Congratulations all on POTD! Especially chuckled at Messina’s.

Congrats Team Tania on your POTD! So funny! Sending prayers for speedy healings! Time to exile those nasty winter "bugs" to a remote island, put away the tissues, drink a hot toddy with lemon and raise a cup of cheer to health and happiness in 2024!

Congrats Tania and team, poem sparked quite the collaboration! The range from Lin's relatable sniffles to David's mischievous sneeze-attack is charming, and Terry's "girl flu" line had me chuckling. The poem feels like a warm blanket on a cold day, filled with camaraderie and lighthearted humor. You've created a fun space for everyone to share their ailments (and a few cheeky jabs!) in verse. Bravo on inspiring this delightful chorus of sneezes and giggles! - Blessings, Daniel

Tania, your idea to turn our 'under the weather' limericks into a collaboration open to everyone was a fun idea. We haven't had one in quite some time. Congratulations on having it chosen as POTD!
