A Seasonal Haiku
Muscle aches, headache and snot.
Influenza sucks.
SOMEBODY just ate all the pepperoni off my pizza when my back was turned. I locked her in the bathroom. I can’t decide if that’s punishment, or just prudence, since it will be easier to clean up when she barfs it up all over the place.
Nothing like another birthday to get a person all maudlin and introspective. Year sixty-one wasn’t too bad. The world only outright tried to kill me once with that heart attack last August, although the broken ankle in March might have been another half-hearted attempt by the fates. Calculating all the near misses in my life…
The front store got these in for the Christmas season a few weeks ago, but they haven’t put them out on the shelves yet. The moment I saw them I knew that I needed to liberate a pair. After inquiring, I was told that I could purchase them directly out of the stockroom if I…
What a day. Three inches of snow, give or take, made an unseasonable and quite unwelcome appearance today. You don’t have to go more than ten or so minutes north of us to find areas afflicted with six inches, so I guess I shouldn’t complain too much. Why must it always snow on days I…

I don’t have your wonderful haiku in front of me just now, but as my fever-addled brain recalls there is no mention of the horrible sore throat! When I wake up in the morning it feels like I’ve been swallowing chunks of hot pumice all night. Horrible, just horrible. But the haiku is good, really good.
