Jingle This

Are you ready for Christmas?  I'm not.  Here's little ditty that explains part of the reason why...

 

Sing to the tune of Jingle Bells (start with the "Dashing through the snow..."  part)

VERSE 1

About two weeks ago,

In the darkest part of night,

The youngest woke up screaming

In tones of fear and fright.

 

She was sick all over the bed,

On her clothes and on the floor

The Spouse stepped in the middle of it

As he opened her bedroom door. Oh!

 

REFRAIN: 

Stomach flu, stomach flu

We had it.  How 'bout you?

Washing bedsheets day and night,

Not a pretty si--ight.

 

Stomach flu, stomach flu

We're better now but still

Of viruses and flu-type bugs,

We've really had our fill!

 

VERSE 2

So for many days on end,

We stripped, and washed, and scrubbed.

We threw our soiled linens

In our utility tub. 

 

It went on for a week.

She ate mostly rice and toast

Of all the stuff goin' round this year,

I hate stomach flu the most! Oh!

 

REFRAIN

Stomach flu, stomach flu

We wouldn't wish it on you.

This sudden, nasty, winter bug

Would really make you blu -ue.

 

Stomach flu, stomach flu

It's over and it's done. 

So, now it's time to settle down

For some Christmas fun!

A Bailout By Any Other Name Is Still a Bailout

On the news this morning, I heard that governors are now asking for money. I didn't hear the entire story, but the new phrase they used had me shaking my head.

What did they call their plea for money?

A request for  "Temporary Counter-Cyclical Funding"
