woke up this morning with the signs of the familiar. had the flu shot but my body forgot so let's hope this is just a cold.


I'm Bluish When I'm Fluish

shiver, sweat, shiver, sweat

ache of head, get the net

darken the light

stir up the meds

turn back the covers

i'm headin for bed

coughing fit

sneezing rain

this old body is feeling pain

november's here

and so it's time

for me to bare this yearly crime

of chesty congestions

and sinus projections

look out world

I have the infection!

Gee, I hate to say this but you do some of your best writing when you are sick. Sorry, but this is really good. However I hate when you are sick so,
GET WELL DEAR SIS
THIS IS NOT YOUR BLISS
YOU CAN'T HAVE THE FLU
HONEY, IT HAS YOU!
YOU'VE GOT TO FIGHT THIS BUG
WITH A BIG WHISKEY CHUG
AND IF THE CURE ISN'T THERE
WELL, HECK, YOU WON'T CARE
AND KEEP YOUR BODY FED
UNTIL THE FLU HAD FLED

Sorry about that Kathy. Flu is terrible. My daughter seems to get it every year especially if she doesn't take a shot and sometimes anyway. Wasn't it last year that the shots didn't help? Sometimes they're just wrong about which strain is going to be worse and most of get it anyway regargless of whether we get a shot or not.
Here is hoping you get over it soon.
Your friend,
Damon

Sympathies, I started my first cold of the season in September and haven't shaken it off yet! I recommend pulsatilla if you have sinus though - homeopathic so no adverse reactions. Darn winter, I hate it so, blowing a gale here
