Sick Day
"Why are you in bed here?
Do you have the flu?
Let me feel your head, dear.
It's 98 point 2."
"Do you have a nosebleed?
Are you short of breath?
Were you in a stampede,
and trampled close to death?
"Do you have the small pox?
Any thing with bumps?
Laryngitis of the voice box,
malaria or mumps?"
"Do you have an earache,
concussion or a sprain,
bitten by a rattlesnake,
have water on the brain?"
"Tell me what's the matter?
Do you need more rest?
"No!" I hollered at her,
"I have an English test!"
