Sore Throat

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

Is illness on the horizon, feel a sore throat coming on, 

A walk to wash away the cobwebs, hoping it'll be gone.

Not been sick for over a year, could be nearly two now,

Hit with hardly any ailments, diet and fitness are probably how.

Fasting until midday and nearly there, halfway,

Because breakfast equals breaking fast, okay.

    That you there in the pic? Good wishes to you.

    Shaun, this made me smile…there’s an easy, grounded honesty here. It feels like a thought caught mid-walk, half worry, half self-check, and that casual openness works. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

    A good read from someone that doesn't get sick. Told my kids that some days I don't feel well but I don't get sick the day I get sick is the day I die. Well written

    I completely recognise that, so well stated. I can only say that sore throats do come and do go without major incident (antibodies in my system worked overtime and did a double shift).

      Indeed, thankfully better today mostly, thanks pal.

      Maybe you heard Shaun that a certain organization ran a simulation-exercise in Dec.2025 for a coming "illness" that they seem sure will happen.
