Give It Your Best Shot!

Flu season is fast approaching. I quake at the thought of getting the flu! I'm terrible when I succumb to those germs and nearly always end up in the hospital on IV. I still must take insulin but can't eat, which can be a major problem! The serum is now here...I can't delay it much longer...

So, since the Poetry Friday word is "tolerate", here's my 1 minute scratch-pad entry....!

a flu shot is the thing I hate

my body just won't tolerate

I hesitate, hold out my arm

and try to think, "oh, what's the harm?"

but all the while I know it's true

my tricep will turn black and blue

and in a day be mighty sore

then I'll whine,"that's it! no more!"

but at the thought of flu I freak

so I'm going to get the jab next week!

Do you get the flu shot?
