I Been Sick

I BEEN SICK © By Becky

It started in my throat with a slight tickle Then increased like a hammer and sickle Pain was so great it was hard to swallow Couldn't talk much just wanted to wallow

In self pity, wanted just to be left all alone Not in this house that could not be done First, it is honey, what do you want to eat For anyone else to cook is a great fete

Then it is honey where do you keep the pot I'll fix you some soup make it piping hot Then back he comes ask where is the soup If I had a rope I would make a large loop

Using as a lariat, swing it round my head I'd capture my mate and he would dread Coming into the room a question to ask Just shut his yap and get on with the task

I need to be pampered at times like this Don't get it often, though it might be bliss If I didn't feel like a some bug under a shoe In a situation like this just what can I do

I don't want to get up I just want to sleep All that interrupting you can just keep I would like to be out of it for the duration The pain and coughing the whole situation

I would like to wake up with all of it gone Stretch and yawn then reach for the phone Call the beauty shop and ask for a time A haircut and manicure would be sublime

I have to suffer through cause that's not all Have got something only babies get, I recall Don't make much sense it's all been a rush I've been diagnosed with a case of the Thrush

It has sapped me has taken all I that I had Thought for a while I might be quite mad Couldn't hold my head up no energy left Admit that hubby has become quite deft

He can whip up a meal that I can barely eat Opens the tapioca, peels bananas ever so neat Pours out the applesauce and inserts the spoon This is a meal that I wont forget soon

The many mega antibiotics are ever so strong Have blisters in my mouth this seems wrong Told this is normal that they will destroy all Stuff in the mouth, good and bad, what a ball

I noticed that since I have been so very sick Nothing has been moved not ever the stick I threw across the room when I got pissed It was my luck when threw it I had missed

Anyway there it is still lying in the same place Along with all items dropped what a disgrace My house looks like a tornado passed through Now what in the heck am I supposed to do

I am so very tired I just sit here and mope I can't pick up a Kleenex I feel like a dope Maybe what I really need is a hard swift kick Please give me some slack cause I been sick
