Hello, am I alright?
have got just a small cold, nothing major
just staying in
It would be something worse, you wager?

What, tis the season of winter flus
so much to do
you caught me in my underwear
I do declare!

Well, I ought to get back in the sack
have got that knack!
don't come around for the germs
they'll make you squirm.

was it the season to be jolly?
I remember folly,
tis also the season of the dreaded flu
so much housework you reminded me to do.

Hi Juanita,

I'm OK, just had a thought about those that were ill, hey my postings were also cut from everypoet, that's an infringement on my property!

Mon Cherie,

I remember this name from Moontown, nice to have you aboard too! well I get the game boards when I'm ill, even play scrabble with myself...one of the oldest and truest of boardgames yet, together with Monopoly.

Nothing worse than the flu bug.. a well-written and entertaining read.. if I had the flu.. it might be the best medicine
