Tis the Season to be Sick

As I sit here at my desk coughing, sniffling and trying to breathe out of one nostril, I came up with this little poem:

Winter time has finally come

the trees no longer make their leafy hum

The snow falls to coat the world in white

people are bundled up really tight

Decorations are hung and lights do glow

but there is something else you should know

While some are sing of Santa and mangers

I'm singing of the winter dangers

Because 'tis the season to be sick

no, this is not a trick

because coughing and sneezing are on their way

sniffling and sore throats will ruin your day

vitamin C, cough drops and tissues are your friends

you'll be glad when it all finally ends

and you can breathe not only out of one nostril, but two

and smell again the sweet Christmas stew

So remember and beware of the wintery cold

that preys on the young, and the very old

Because 'tis the season to be sick

Happy Winter from a groovy Chick!
