My Miserable Blogging Rest

 

 

.

Well, here I am back blogging once more after a miserable rest,
Being sick the whole time in what seemed like a very bad test,
That I will now tell you about in this first story poem of mine,
I have written since that miserable rest began back in time.

My Miserable Blogging Rest

 

 

.

Just before the time I decided to stop blogging a while and rest,
We stopped in to see Linda and Gene one more time with zest,
As we visited and recalled old memories from long in the past,
Gene said he had just recovered from a bad cold that did last.

Gene and Linda

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

Linda was still coughing and hacking in her chair across the room,
As she read old blogs about Misques making our memories zoom,
Causing us to laugh out loud as reliving those times so very dear.
I guess I must have sucked in cold germs laughing, I do now fear.

 

 

 

 

.

Since that time two weeks ago that I decided to rest a while,
My cold turned into bronchitis, coughing and hacking in style,
So my rest was kind of miserable as I felt just like pure hell.
With all those bad symptoms that everyone knows so well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

I thought for a while that it might be the flu, but I had no fever,
But my eyes burned a lot watering as I became a true believer,
That my suffering was resulting from two years of not being sick,
Kind of leaving my body very vulnerable making me a total wreck.

 

 

 

 

.

It started off with just a runny nose and a bit of a sore throat,
As I gargled with Listerine twice each day to keep me afloat.
But it just kept getting worse as I used a box of tissues a day,
Then it worked its way down into my chest and I was on my way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

The coughing started then and the loogies came out in force,
As my tissue rate went to two boxes a day heading towards four.
For two days over a weekend my misery then peaked on out,
And I had decided to go to the doctor on Monday, no doubt.

 

 

 

 

.

But on Sunday evening, the coughing slowed down a whole lot,
So I decided to wait and see if I was about over this now or not.
It is now Thursday morning and I’m feeling much better today,
So I think this stuff may finally be leaving and going on away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

Pam had gone to a substitute teaching job today leaving me here,
So I picked up my new iPad Pro and have written this with care,
But I don’t think pictures of trash cans of used tissues will work,
To include herein, so I’ll have to find some images that do not irk.

This must have been right after a cat tickling as he looks mad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

So I guess I’ll put photos of Kristi’s old cat Rascal to take up slack,
As I think I have enough of them from those days way on back.
I must admit that old Himalayan breed cat was easy to look at,
And that old cat wasn’t too skinny and he sure wasn’t too fat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

I’m not too sure this is a good subject with which to now return,
But it’s about done now and my old sick eyes are starting to burn.
So it looks like it will be the first one out there for you to now see,
As I have now officially started so you can expect more from me.
