~* Sick Of Being Sick *~

I'm sure darn sick of being sick,
and now I'm getting a little frantic.
I’m usually really energetic,
not some slug, or simply lethargic.

This flu is making me ache and twitch,
and no longer am I energetic.
Rolling over on a couch or bed
Becomes my one and only gymnastic.

I took their costly analgesic,
gargled with the prescribed antiseptic,
Went back to the clinic still sick,
Well at least they were apologetic.

I can’t seem to find any logic
to this horrible epidemic.
One second you’re just plain “carsick”,
The next thing, this flu turns all gastric!

My head felt like it got hit by a brick,
So I took two Tylenol really quick.
Help! I need to feel fantastic,
Is there some easy remedy or magic?

Do you want to hear a funny thing?
Now this is really quite ironic,
they won't give me a flu shot,
'cause they tell me I'm too sick!

Ask me if I feel like an actor
in a really bad, bad flick.
Someone turn the channel please,
so I don't have to be this sick!

Just a silly "ick" thing from one delirious sicko!
See you soon and get those flu shots!



                                               
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.

Ahhh Sharon...I'm so sorry you're still not too well.
He's no Copperfield but maybe this guy can work some magic!



Please hurry and get better real soon.

aw sweetie--I wish I were there. Actually, I wish you were here. It's too damned cold there.

I totally sympathize. But oh it would be so much fun if I could just teleport you here. I'm sitting here drinking a beer I can't taste, watching "Real Sex" (which I can't have) acting out my frustrations on the internet with little smilie facies that have more agility than I do!

like this --->

sighs, and hugs,

Gemini's are notoriously impatient patients!



Feel better soon.

Ohh..PLEASE be careful, because I hear this year is one of the worst ones yet. I have a nagging little cough and from time to time I feel the effects of a cold that can't seem to make up its mind whether its going to come full force or go away.



Be well..

You have given me so much pleasure. If I had one wish I'd give it to you to get better.

We're whipping up some potions
Plus a bit of faery dust
And here's some homemade chicken soup
That's yummy and robust

We hope you'll soon be better
You've got a nasty case of 'ick'
We miss you Lady Sharon
Please get better awfully quick!!!

Hugs and Loves, Marti and Ron

I think you need someone to take care of YOU for a change. You do so much for others, it's time to find someone to take care of you.


Here I sit with a throat so sore it's hard to eat anything but broth!! Blech!!! And I had MY flu shot!
