With so many people suffering from 'summer' colds I thought I'd re-post this little poem
I was so very sorry
You were feeling rather ill
I wondered, yes I wondered
Did it help to take a pill
You needed a dose of TLC
Once you’d taken to your bed
The formula was guaranteed
To ease a pounding head
Also you would find enclosed
An additional provision
A hug that I’d created
To beget a fast remission
I fashioned it with sympathy
Coloured with affection
Adding reassurance
To cope with an injection
I took a crumb of wisdom
To include inside the mixture
To make it known that hereonin
Your illness was not a fixture
So hurry now and get well soon
I’ve been so very troubled.
It felt as if you’d gone astray
And missing you had doubled

ReplyDeleteNo you're not, Valerie, this poem is sooooooo clever!!!
There was a time when I a kid, that I was obsessed with both writing and memorizing poetry. I would walk around the house reciting, "Paul Reveres's Ride." Drove my mother INSANE - HA!
Have a wonderful day, dear lady!

You're great at poetry Valerie!
ReplyDeleteYou have man flu, John? Hope you didn't leave any germs behind.
ReplyDeleteCompared to yours, Brian, the poem IS rubbish. You're welcome to hang on to it....smiles.
Thanks, Kelly. Glad you liked the doggy stories, too.
Your welcome, Jenny, hope you feel better soon.
Ooooh, Ron, poetry doesn't come easy for me. I get grey hairs trying to write it. Your poor mom, she had a lot to put up with....grins.
ReplyDeleteDid you get my late comment on your blog?
Far from being rubbish, I thought it was a lovely poem and I liked the card too. I should send this to my sister-in-law, she came down with a real nasty cold after a long plane flight.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, Hallmark would pay a pretty penny for that :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Val. I have been dealing with a sinus infection for more than a month now so I will take any help I can get. Have a good one.
ReplyDeleteNot really, Pearl, it's hard work for me, but thank you for saying so.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think you get points for having the courage to try!
ReplyDeleteAnd it sounds like Mr. Shife needs one of those cards--the poor thing....
Thanks Val...
ReplyDeleteI feel better already !!
