I am a sneezy, drippy mess
I am not really at my best
My nose is sore and I am sure
I'll need more tissues from the store
I eat my soup and drink my tea
And sneeze again...oh, God bless me!
Again I slept the day away
I fear this cold is here to stay
It's been so long since I could breathe
Seems nothing that I try relieves
My stuffy head, my ears and chest
I'm just a sneezy, drippy mess.
Well, now it's time I went to bed
To rest my sneezy, drippy head.
Perhaps tomorrow I can see
My way to reading poetry!

*sniff*

I hope you find yourself in the dreams of a very restful sleep my friend.  I know it is enough to drive you batty when you can't sit at the keyboard without it getting all gooey'd up.  This was a fun read but I am sorry that you are feeling under the weather.

Denise,
I hope that I can be so cheerful about it the next time I'm there.  Something I never tried to write about.  Thanks for the chuckle.

Awwww !  Poor, poor baby.
You rest and stay in out of the cold !
This was a really cute write -
for one so miserable ... it's nice to know
that your sense of humor isn't all sneezy !

If you were here at my place, you could just go out to the grove and pick your own fresh grapefruit and oranges and we'd squeeze you a big pitcher of juice.

Take two *Hugs* ... *Hugs*
and call me in the morning !

Just a note, Denise, to wish you a speedy recovery, and hope you're feeling better soon.  Take care of yourself, and don't forget to eat a lot of chicken soup!!

Chicken soup for the soul, chicken lips for your nose...delightfully woven piece even if inspired by your discomfort.

At first I thought it was going to be a piece to the "I am" challenge...you put a smile on my face, but not for your discomfort, please know.

Denise! What are you doing out of bed? You know that when you're sick you're supposed to lie down and wait for someone to bring you chicken soup, sudafed, and a box of tissues! Now lie down and get better!  

Hope you're back to normal so-o-o-o-on!

Thanks everyone! I am starting to feel better after a second trip to the doctor and a different prescription. I have been sick off and on since the middle of December. I hope my feeling better lasts this time!   Thanks for the hugs, well wishes and prayers!
