Shingles Shenanigans

 

Oh yes, it\'s time to get it off my chest

it’s time to get it out

i\'ve been feeling tremendously poorly

i\'ve been feeling rather fraught 

 

see i\'ve had these shingles for fourteen months, I count

first came the burn and stabbing pain

and then came my ugly frown

 

spots look like

the pox of chickens 

I was bewildered, that’s for sure

every day I woke up

there were more, more, more

 

then my arm stopped working 

as my elbow just gave up

I can honestly tell you

by this time

i\'d really had enough 

 

now they surface daily

they come to say hello

now, I\'m just so nervous 

I tell them where to go? 

 

I feel like a little old lady

aches and pains all around 

I was even put on an MRI machine

but I ran off, please Sir

my feet must stay on solid ground 

 

I can\'t believe I did this

I can\'t believe I ran?

even my next door neighbor had one

and she is someone’s gran

 

now I await the next time 

the phone I leave on off 

the MRI has freaked me out

so too, did the Italian prof.
