There's Nothing Like the Pick-Up Line: "I'm Running A Fever of 104Β°"...Is There?!

Cheeky Missy



Ahem, so ya.
 
Oh, Yeah, It's Wednesday Too
 
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMLXXXIII)
 
 
Keep writing "June" as if the snow's detail
Does not affect the facts, as if from hence
The cal'ndar page does not reflect good sense,
Just start the date with that first letter's scale
Of truth, and don't acknowledge that t'avail
Yerself of this might be half selfish thence.
Or wherefore is't I'm caught miswriting whence
I canna say, a Summer month, like's bail?
Tis Jan'ry eighth and bitter chill in tour
The rule, hot soups and drinks prevail as due,
Whilst heat and not the AC often stir,
And Christmas strains yet linger, til the view
With aught effects deny the note as twere
Of "June." I dunno why I'm mixt up. You?

(tongue in cheek)
 
Mixt Up Means to Churn, Right?
 
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMLXXIV)
 
 
As if to freeze maunt thus suffice, what hence?!
Work in an office where all boast in frail
Excuse of fevers, and food pois'ning! They'll
Trade ghastly stories til I cringe from thence
Whilst trying to feign I don't give for intents
A hoot for that contagion, like'd avail
To be aloof or play the nurse' detail,
Cuz after all, my dear, what's not pretense?
Grab for my "lunch" oernight what turns out fer
All that to be...so green with mold t'won't do
But for the trash. Did I, like, take as t'were
The wrong turn somewhere back?!  Tell me's not true.
Yet wherefore does aught seem amiss? Bestir
Hope in the LORD our refuge: save us too!

  • Comment from author about the poem: That's how I was greeted when I entered for work, to spend that shift listening to their horror stories of food poisoning. You've just got to have fun after such "fun," you know? Enjoy?!

      Well, considering the one girl's story was that she felt fine, returned from the gym and drank a smoothie, to upchuck the next instant, I'm probably the only dingbat who eats what fell on the floor; speaking of which, I'll spare you. Thank you again so very, very much!

        Work stories are about all I miss of the office or work site. They grow in exageration to limits beyound contemplation. A fun read Chic

        Clapping! πŸ‘ πŸ‘
        Wow! 😲
        Two awesome Sonnets
        In a row I must say!πŸ‘

        to have a refrigerator problem! 😳 😊
