I don’t know how I missed the hippos,
who tromped all over me,
they must have been in stealth mode,
which is why I didn’t see.
I think they did the tango,
on my bed whilst I was asleep,
or perhaps it was a polka,
and my aches will last a week.
I’ve got the hacking cough,
of an elephant bull seal,
my head wants to explode,
or at least that’s how if feels.
I had the hot and then the cold,
I’m drinking lots of fluids,
If my body is a temple,
mine has decayed to ruins.
At least today is Friday,
so I have all the weekend,
to wallow in my misery,
before works starts again!

I loved this but not because it ended on a relatively sad mode but because your words worked their magic.

Thanks Nida 🙂 I just wish the hippos had rampaged somewhere else.

Get well soon, Claudette. If I was living next door, I’d be around with lots of tea and biscuits to help try and cheer you up. I just hope you do not succumb to ‘daytime telly!’ If it’s anything like we get here in the UK, you’ll soon be back at work.

I don’t watch telly at all, haven’t for 9 years. Thanks for the kind thoughts re tea and bickies, but my taste buds seem to have gone on holiday also, so that’s another disappointment.

How about a few hugs then, Claudette? I’ll send them over to you, but not by hippo!
