I think I may cough up a lung.
I ache from head to toe.
I’m blazing hot, then freezing cold.
Eyes smart and nostrils flow.
A microscopic virus birthed
this beast that’s claimed my week,
demanded that I stay in bed,
and made my outlook bleak.

A satirical look at the world can really be uncool
It's a vice held to scorn, derision, and ridicule
If we avoid this affliction
There's much less friction
Life zings along and our troubles seem minuscule

A Fool and Miniscule
There was some fool who had little school
With mind and brain which were miniscule
Who often reminded me of a rendition
Of what was supposed to be a Southern tradition.
Now this guy I have heard is totally dumb
Can't tell difference between finger and his thumb
And on his pinky tries to put a thimble on
Much attention with ignorance he has drawn.
His poor appearance and behavior need control
Unsatisfactory seems to now be his new goal
Of someone else's diploma he even made a copy
And when he did it turned out to be sloppy.
So someone like that would you want to be?
Delinquent and detriment to the community
Who even has ivy which is all full of poison
And has been using it as shaving lotion.
Now his foolish face really has quite a rash
While driving was discovered in a big crash
With his life could never find any other way
Is in heaven now after being declared DOA.
