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!
