On a Headache
by Jane Austen

When stretch'd on one's bed
With a fierce-throbbing head,
Which precludes alike thought or repose,
How little one cares
For the grandest affairs
That may busy the world as it goes!

The Sickness Creature
by Brittany Miles


Creeping upon you,
Swift as a cheetah,
Quiet,
Silent but deadly.

Pulling on you,
Gently at first.
A small headache
Slows you down

Until finally
Overcoming you
Pulling you in
With its slithery tentacles
Tossing you left
Throwing you right
Your head spinning
As if you have been staring
At a washing machine
It twisting your stomach
As if it is a rubber band

Finally winning
Banishing you to
The black hole,
The darkness,
Your bed
All hope is gone
The virus has won

"I cannot go to school today."
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
I have the measles and the mumps,
a gash, a rash and purple bumps.
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is...Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"
By Shel Silverstein

Doctor, Doctor, come, come quick!
My dolly is so very sick!
Her throat is sore and she has lumps;
Do you suppose she has the mumps?
Please, prescribe some medicine
to make her all well again!

~Nursery Rhyme

This is a Nursery Rhyme that my mother and her sister used to sing!

Traci,
Yours reminds me of a "tune" that my mom always sang and we played it on the piano using one finger with each hand:
"Doctor, Doctor can you tell,
what will make poor Kelsie well?
She is sick and about to die,
that will make poor ____ (fill in with boys name) cry,
_____, _____, don't you cry,
she'll get better by and by.
Here she comes all dressed in blue,
that means she will marry you!"

What can I say...?! Mrs. M

Blizzard warnings were issued to go to parts of Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin as snow socked the states in tandem with hot air gusts topping 45 miles (72 kilometers) per hour.
The blizzard -- 10 days before the hit of winter -- took its greatest chiming in Minnesota, where as much as two feet (61 centimeters) of snow had fallen in some locations, according to the Country-wide Sickly Appointment (NWS).
The state's largest new zealand urban area Minneapolis was under a blanket of corpse-like 17 inches (43 cm) profound, the worst snowfall to hit the new zealand urban area in more than 19 years and the fifth-biggest on record.
As an indicator of the storm's oppressiveness, Minneapolis-St. Paul Global Airport -- a traversing focal point with know-how in contending with foetid seedy -- was keep quiet down in return the oldest point in years.
