Sick Again

I feel the heat rush to my head,
Next thing you know it, I'm in bed.

The thermometer in my mouth goes *BEEP!*,
The nurse takes it out and I cry myself to sleep.

I don't want this to happen, so I'll count to ten,
Cause I hate it when they say that I'm sick again.

I'm frozen in a giant cube of ice,
I can't move an inch, and it isn't nice.

I want to flush my sickness down the drain,
I'm tempted to take a knife and have it slain.

Oh, take a taxi, take a train,
Fly to Mexico, walk to Maine!

No longer must this sickness remain,
No longer can I take this pain.

So in despair, I do declare,
Sickness, leave me and go ELSEWHERE!

How sad that you are sick again! Perhaps, you hastened back to school before you had recouped your strength. In one of your missives, you had described how you got wet (drenched through and through?) and remained wet for quite some time when you went to 'teach' in one of the adventurous school activities. Unfortunately, my apprehension came true and you are back home. Of course, there is a bright side to it too. You are now in the company of your darling Naanu and Naani. Make the most of this opportunity and get well soon under their loving care and nourishment. But don't rush back to school till you have not only recovered from the sickness but also gained strength to the pre-sickness level. This is IMPORTANT!There is nothing to worry, however. Keep up your cheer. Don't stress yourself too much. Take it easy and you SHALL overcome.Get well soon! Cheers!!
