DAY 10

 

 

Jingle For My TV

 

Had a nauseous morning?

Spill coffee on your shirt?

Did a train-rider sneeze

a first cold tickle? What a jerk!

When the head begins pounding

and the nose starts to run,

rush home with some hot-sour

soup and grab the remote.

It’s time for Wednesday

and Thursday Night TV.

 

American Horror Story

Chicago Fire or PD

Law and Order SUV on NBC

and on the DVR The View.

As your cold turns to flu

and the shivers rattle,

Daytime talk shows

cook up dinner and prattle.

All my best friends flow

from screen to living room,

operate on my lungs.

remove my tonsils; they will be

new stars on Grey’s Anatomy.
