The leaf stopped briefly
on its way
down the walk

Pushed by wind
that traded its breath
for legs

It looked at me
and I
looked back

It met up
with a Snickers wrapper
and they
flittered,
on their way

Any way, blah blah blah

What I really want to
tell you about it is

I’ve had a lot of
company this week
who made themselves,
at home

I never even invited them
but they
kind of enjoy,
surprising me
once a year or so

They’re cute that way

Funny how they really can’t stand
to be more than
two nano meters away from me
at any one time

So they’re all nestled up nice and cozy

In my lungs

You know how relatives
or fish,
either way,
after three days even under the best
circumstances
start to kind of,
smell

Well that’s these guys
too

Hey who are we trying to kid here

They basically smell like an anchovie’s butt
in an outhouse

On a tuna boat!

Any who

I’ve been sending them off
bit by bit
after being here,
all week
making all kind a ruckus
and whatnots

With you know, a polite but deliberate,
Aaahh Hoummmm!

Actually it’s more of a gut retching hack
that could shake a maggot of a gut wagon,
but,
you get the picture

Thank god all the families that preferred to stay upstairs
are finally leaving too,
albeit much too slow pokely

Yes there’s, The Drizzles, and The Dribbles
and The,
Sniffles and
The Honks,

The Sneezies and The Weezies, and The
Woozies
and The
Konks

Who by the way this time
really did,
konk me out

Oh yeah I almost forgot that this time around
they had their German and Mexican friends
with them too

The Gesundheits and The,
Jesus Maria’s

My gosh I almost forgot their Danish contingency as well,
The Flems

I mean who could forget, Goober and Booger McSnottroket

Bunch of hacks

Ahhh yes, it was regular international affair
this season

Well they can all just get along now with Ma and Pa Tooey
from my throat as well

I guess I am fortunate in a way

That The Splashes and The
Plops,
didn’t accompany them
this time

And all their little,
squirts as well

Who yes actually do like eating Hershey bars

And always manage to leave a little,
Skid mark
on the highway
before they leave

Screeeeechhhh

They’re fun

All in all it really wasn’t that bad
in fact,
it was pretty sick!

Thank god for air travel

How lucky am I that they all,
flu in

Funny guy.We all seem to have been fighting those nasty bugs around here and all over the country and Canada it seems. No one likes it but we are hospitable and try to keep them all entertained.I went from cutting kleenex into little squares to stop the nose from running all day.I finally
realized how foolish I had been and now just have a roll of little squares that were always right there in the bathroom all the time. Now both desks have a supply and my bedside table and bath room too.Hopefully that will solve the hanky relief brigade and the pennies spent on them. Bless you and take care, jo

haha oh my gosh Jo all those pieces of tissure paper, yes i know what your talking about, my nose fell off a couple days ago so at least i dont have to worry about wiping or blowing it anymore haha..

yeah this is a real bad one going around, and all over the country too, i just read that this years flu season is already 3 weeks ahead of schedule, yay.

ive been laid out all week and my lungs are just filled with, who knows what, so much that my stomach hurts from coughing so much, ickkk..

well anywho, thanks for your note it brightened up my day.. i do feel better than yesterday so thats good, i only have to get about another 4000 percent better to get back to normal..

wash those hands frequently, and get that flu shot, thats an order!

haha..

cute one

I am still debating on the flu shot (only because I have another health problem at the moment and am not sure if it will cause me  more of a problem) so I am staying in and away from people until I  feel a bit better.

I hope you are starting to feel better by now.


Sending you a distant hug,
M
