My eyes are red and teary,
My throat is dry and sore.
My ears are full of batten,
I sweat from every pore.

My chest is tight and croupy,
My nose runs night and day.
I caught this cold from kissing,
And now I’ve got to pay.

I'm really not an angel and can do little for your roup
But I can send a scoop of my mothers chicken soup.

Mr. T. ~

But I know that you're an angel,
And are sure to ease my croup.
And I welcome a big bowl of,
Your mother's chicken soup.

Love you too, Angel Man!

Martie ~

Oh, yes indeedy! I caught it from my boyfriend. Last evening he bought 22 limes and a pound of fresh ginger and brought it over to my house. He made me some ginger tea and also squeezed a lime for me to drink. My orders are to squeeze a lime every half hour and drink it straight and to make myself a ginger tea every two hours. I'm following his doctor's orders! ~ and I am beginning to feel better! Thank you for your 'get well' wishes!

I Love You Mug

Ah dear Linda...
Hope you get feeling better soon.
And that must have been some kiss.

Happy that the price, though annoying, was a small one.

And seems to have added benefits.

Oh, a paltry sum it is
to pay for misery
found in a kiss~

For in the healing balm
I'm told ...
is loving comfort
from one so bold~

Tee-Hee ... you get all ginger-limeyed now, ya' hear me ?

"You get all ginger-limeyed now, ya' hear me?" ~ That cracked me up! lol

My boyfriend is from England and as I drank the lime juice he squeezed for me, he naughtily exclaimed, " You're getting limed by a limey!"

Simple today was my shopping list
As I browsed behind my cupboard door
It was a only a kiss that I missed
So a trip I made to the kiss store

A special it seems on the shelf today
Double coupon for any kisses bought
Seemed a reasonable price for me to pay
One kiss it was for that is what I sought

Took it home tucked deep in my heart
Relishing in the deal that I made today
Little did I know what was about to start
As a coupon cold decided to come out and play

Don't bother to ask if it was worth the price
As I lie here sipping drinks of squeezed lime
My answer would be I would pay for it twice
As that kiss also came with spoil me time

***********
Get some rest ... now I gotta go shopping myself.

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Is that you? Is that really you?!? Gosh, I've been missing you, but I know you were busy doing very big (10,000 people big!!!) things while you were away!

Here's an angel kiss from me for all the good that you are doing with your life ~
