home sick

I think, when I get a day off work,

I’ll do this and make that

and see things I don’t have time to see

I’ll pen rhymes and paint pictures …

But it figures that my day off

involves coughing and congestion,

cold sweats and indigestion.

But not all was lost.

A BBC Pride and Prejudice marathon,

chased by a shot of Bride and Prejudice

were duly savored.

I O.D.ed on Bollywood-flavored CVS Tussin

and Jane Austen,

gulped gallons of Airborne.

And it’s back to work in the mornin’
