I make no excuses for bring the below classic out of left field – again - as it fits well with the wickedly warm weather an’ such and I do hope Ripper belts it out at his place of work tonight as he and his fellow nighthawks slowly cook in their recommended all weather protective clothing. watch out for those Health and Safety regulations; they can be a killer eh?
You could always call in sick I guess;
“I cannot go to school today"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry.
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox.
And there's one more - that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue,
It might be the instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke.
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in.
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My toes are cold, my toes are numb,
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There's a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is ...
What? What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is ...... Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!”
Shel Silverstein
Be cool my friends.
Quote; Marilyn Monroe.
“It's not true that I had nothing on. I had the radio on.”
