Doctor Mom ~~~  When this Dad gets sick put on your brake try not to squash the fuss I make My vocabulary starts to shrink just moans and groans are all I think I rub my eyes I hold my head with dragging feet I head off to bed ~ Family life comes to a halt I’m sick Could be dying And it ain’t my fault Call the doctor Where’s the bucket? Tuck me in with another blanket Moan and groan whine and wheeze a sadly echoed thank-you please ~ My hand is shaky Can’t lift the spoon I hope the doctor gets here soon Fluff my pillow Can I have more soup? Angels could take their cue from you My foot’s asleep I’ve got an itch If I rub your lamp can I make a wish? ~ Ouch That hurts What’s that you say? You think I’m better? Than who? I ask Ouch That's it ! No use to run I’ll catch you before this day is done ~ When this Dad gets sick for heavens sake Lace up your shoes you may not get a break ! ~~~ I'm not ugly! I'm just visually challenged! |

You tell 'em, Rex! Women can't really relate to this because they don't get as sick as we do.....but I understand. |

serenity thankyou, we do apply a lot of laughter in our family bobbycat LOL, sounds like you've been run ragged before ... memories? Denise your welcome ... I like to tickle a few funny bones Amy your welcome ... glad you read my poem ... most dads are like this Martie thanks, glad you liked it Poet deVine hit a bone did it? Claire after reading the sadness in many peoples hearts ... I try that much harder to write something ticklish Marge well of course ... men are willing to admit that they feel more pain then women do Balladeer exactly ... women get the flue ... men get the Black Plague and when a man sits in the dentist chair ... it's comparable to childbirth ... it's true January Flowers you could start a doctor mom sideline business and give others a break ... heh ... you could get rich Elizabeth been there huh? RufffRyder we do love the attention don't we ... most men never grow up in some respects ... we're still big boys |
