Today I Choose Me!

Today has been a wacky Wednesday and I’ll tell you why -
I awoke with a sore throat that made me wanna cry.
Now sore throats are bad – no, badder than bad;
But luckily this one isn’t the worst I’ve ever had!
Shining a light down the farthest recesses of my throat
I tell you, I can see to the deepest parts of that moat.
I see my tonsils and little bumps of white and red
Then wonder what’re you doing here? You should be in bed!
So, I’ve lazed around the whole day through;
Doing nothing but plopping here and there with nary a shoe.
Now I’ve decided this is my motto - don’t you see,
“I can only please one person per day & TODAY I CHOOSE ME!”

Cute poem! You might want to go to the doc. Sounds like Strep to me. Hope you get feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteVery clever! You're so talented, you can turn anything into rhyme.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen and Tina for the comments. For some reason I like trying to rhyme and end up doing it at some of the funniest things... or maybe weirdest would be a better word.
ReplyDeleteThanks again... Joyce
