THE HYPOCHONDRIAC

By Josie Whitehead

Hypochondriac (The)

Dear Tony -

I’ve measles, mumps, a runny nose;
A cut that runs from knees to toes;
    I’ve chickenpox and, yes, the ‘flu - - - -
    And, I forgot:  Well, how are you?

 

I’ve blisters on my swollen feet;
I sick up everything I eat.
   My toothache makes me rage and yell!
    Oh, pardon me; I hope you’re well.

I broke my arm, and grazed my knee.
Oh, life’s been very hard on me.
     My throat’s so sore I just can’t drink
     But hope you’re keeping *in the pink!

I’ve aching limbs and tingling toes,
And other things I’ll not disclose.
     I’ve turned to Google, with some dread,
     But, sad to say, he thinks I’m dead!

                                                     Johnny
