I cannot take credit for this. This little ditty has been around for ages and still makes me laugh. Hope it gave you a smile, too. Now stop hogging the wine and pass it over here! 🙂

The holiday season is here
Everyone’s filled with good cheer
But I have this cold, or so I’ve been told
Maybe you shouldn’t come near
People are shopping like crazy
I shop online, ‘cause I’m lazy
But the doctor affirms, I picked up some germs
Now everything seems a bit hazy
I wonder how that can be
Is this why I’m feeling crappy?
A box full of tissues, oh, so many issues!
Please pour me another cup of tea
I whistle when I breathe, I’m wheezing
And in between that, I keep sneezing
My nose is on fire, all I do is perspire
How can that be if I’m freezing?
Tylenol, Advil, Aleve
With these three things, I believe
I can chase this away, at least for today
Perhaps, just a little reprieve
I’m starting to feel some relief
This cold took my spirit, what a thief!
I hope it’s not longer, til I feel much stronger
Until then, I’ll just lie here, (good grief)

Whenever my arms start waving
Before I start ranting and raving
Hubby hops in the car, but doesn’t go far
Cause he knows it’s the sign of a craving
The munchies have struck me, oh my
Better hope you’re not standing nearby
See, I grab what is here, without any fear
Stress gets the best of me, sigh
My limit has now been exceeded
My doctor’s orders, unheeded
I crunch and I munch, shove in a bunch
These chips were just what I needed

My lantern, a light
Through a cold lonely night
Feeling the numbness
Surrounding
Storm clouds clear
As my love draws near
And the ocean churns
Abounding
My body and soul
Now becomes whole
My heart beat will guide you
Pounding
For the waters between
And visions foreseen
Speak to our passions
Resounding

Night settles over, like a vaporous gloom
Envelopes my soul, in a darkening tomb
Looking ahead, I seek out the light
The only one promising, to bring me through night
Skies part the way, not a moment too soon
All at once I am swallowed, by a heavenly moon
As day comes to an end, and the sun bids adieu
The eventide wraps me, in its ebony hue
