FEELING HOT HOT HOT (NOT)

 

My oomph is gone

It’s disappeared,

I’m not myself

It’s really weird.

 

My body shakes,

My bones are sore,

My brain’s fogged in,

My husband’s bored.

 

I loll about

Get nothing done,

I sleep all day,

I am not fun.

 

Am I wuss?

A lazy bum?

Am I depressed,

Or a tad glum?

 

Is all this pain

Just in my head?

Why am I such

A sleepyhead?

 

Does everyone

Who takes these meds,

Turn into such

A dunderhead?

 

I knew they might

Deplete my oomph,

But seriously

This isn’t cool.
