With thanks to all you Doctors of Poetry who post here  Poetic Medicine I'm here at home instead of at work Caught in the grip of the flu The t.v. is only a mass of snow So I logged on to ICQ But it won't open…it must be sick too Seems my ISP is in disarray For when I dial up a connection I only get twenty-eight K Got booted twice in ten minutes Just trying to check my mail Received that nasty little message YOUR CONNECTION HAS FAILED! I asked myself a question… What's a girl to do in times like these? The answer came right to me (Pardon me while I sneeze) Make a big pot of Cuban coffee Choose chicken as the soup du jour Then cruise on over to Passions Where poetry is the best cure! Thanks to all the lovely poets I can read 'til I get my fill Then I'll be better in no time and forget that I ever felt ill caroline It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

Caroline, So sorry you are ill, but I did enjoy your poem so much I could not quite sit still. So take your chicken soup and what ever other pill. And if you like you can even send the the ever loven bill. *L* Sy |

Oh Caroline...I'm sorry you have been bitten too. Know it's not very pleasant. I've been trying to work with it and getting nothing else accomplished. |

Caroline- Having felt the bite of that old flu bug ... I can tell you it takes 'chicken soup' AND a hug. The soup drowns it And the hug squeezes the life right out of it. Feel better. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I sure hope that you feel better soon. I feel so lucky that I haven't come down with this bug yet, (I'm knocking on wood as I type) In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

So sorry that your not feeling well, Caroline. I have heard that this bug is a really nasty one. Take care, drink plenty of fluids, eat your chicken soup and get some rest! Of course, if you'd like to write a little poetry, that would be just fine by me! And how about that Pepper.....I told her she was a poet! Denise |

Caroline - Mistress Best has taken leave for awhile and now it is Mistress Sneeze! I hope, of course, that it is all over soon - was reading over here about the dreadful flu that is sweeping over Europe and the US. Big big hugs to you my friend  (Oh - and great poem of course - but you know I think that already!) K |
