Dear Chandni,
Is all I've heard true?
A bug has got a hold of you,
sneezing, coughing, watery eyes.
Please tell me that those are lies?
Hi Julie,
Yes, I'm sad to say
I've not been well, look kind of gray.
But that is not the worst of it.
You're sick too! Now what'd YOU get?
Sigh, it is sad, though oh so true
How can I begin to tell you
About what happens when I eat
Also, I'm burning up with heat!
Geez, that is bad yet this is worse
This sickness has become a curse
I can't get up, I feel so weak
Barely the strength to start to speak
I understand just how you feel
I'm miserable, what a raw deal
I've been through all that you have said
And there's no way to clear my head
Both of us sick? It's just not fair!
Together we'd make quite a pair
And what the heck, if that's the case
Why don't we join the amazing race?
Ooo, great idea, please count me in
After all, poems come from within
And though as odd as it may seem
I'm sure we would make quite a team
Yup, that is true, let's join the race
We'll do what we can, at our own pace
Though if it's hard to concentrate
We'll do our best at any rate!
