low grade fever for boys around
waves of nausia crashing down
lads want to play but need to sleep sound
zapping strength, knocking them down.

Time for a DVD, “let’s calm down a bit”
spasms of coughing, the body throws a fit
loud sickening POP! the power’s gone for today
barely 9 am, gonna be a long day.
A mountain of blankets under which books are read
superhero capes and teddy bears tucked in bed
magnificant day in the African sun
chills and shivering inside, no one’s having fun.
Crayons, games, stickers, puzzles, a hatted cat too
HELP! …Resources exhausted! …Need more things to do
two boys are joyful while taxing as everyone knows
wouldn’t three boys really keep me on my toes?
Getting dizzy… slightly mental… oh look there’s a tyranalamoose
must be wazerliling from reading Dr. Seuss.

another Random African Virus is going around
waves of nausia crashing down
fever is breaking maybe now they’ll sleep sound
zapping strength, knocking me down.
