Clinging to a tissue box
Wrapped in blankets, robe and socks
Nose is useless for a breather
Vocal chords don’t work much either
Head is pounding, eyes are red
Set up shop inside my bed
Try to write but thoughts don’t come
Senses dull and brain is numb
Up again, I hear that soup
Cures colds, Bubonic plague, and croup
Pass a mirror- shrug and stare
Don’t care enough to brush my hair
Pills and steam and old wife’s tales
Nothing cures my aches and ails
Start a chore, pretend I’m fine
Dizzy, woozy, never mind
Crawl back to my little cave
Bed and pillow now I crave
Day is done, heads a balloon
Good night cruel world! Its only noon

It’s a foggy day in Corvallis,
And i’m Thinking of Rosie in LA
She’s sneezin’and wheezin’ and ah choosing too
She’s got to get better before T Day
So here’s best wishes
Stay warm and get well
This is no Emily Dickinson
And that you can tell
It’s your x teacher
In poetry or prose
Here’s to you, be well, Sweet Rose.
Haha! This is awesome!! Thank you Marion, you made me feel better!
