“Contagion” Is A Synonym For “Paid Time Off”

My wife has a disease

Where her nose is really oozy,

Her muscles ache, she’s sneezy,

And occasionally woozy.

She sleeps a lot and burps a lot

And makes a sound like “schplurk”.

I’m going to kiss her on the mouth

Then take some time off work.

So Basically Tide Pods, Right?

If you’ve always dreamed of fame

But the dream never came to fruition

I have a helpful tidbit

From yours truly’s intuition:

Drink a bunch of chemicals

Then pretend you have the flu

And with any luck some doctor

Will name a condition after you!

A Bad Combo

The nurse told me I’m dyslexic.

I told them “could be worse.”

They said “and you’re a phenylketaunuric.”

Well, I was wrong. That’s fro urse.

The Rich Man Thinketh

I’ve developed a nasty growth,

A blighting blob of bloat

Called a sense of self-importance.

I have a strong desire to gloat.

Considering my presence

On this great orb on which we float

I realize how unhealthy this is,

Yet I’ll still buy that fur coat.

A Letter from My Cough

It’s not that I don’t want you
To ever go to sleep.
I’m just afraid that you’ll forget
About this post-nasal seep,

And so every now and then
I give your throat a tickle
And hope that while you’re coughing
You think about my mucus trickle.

When, like me, you’re just a symptom
It’s hard to find romance,
But when you crawled into your bed
I thought I’d take a chance.

Well, now you probably hate me
And I don’t blame you a bit.
Sorry it wasn’t good for you,
But I take what I can get.

The B.A. Blues

My eyes water,
My arms sweat,
When I see
My Bernadette.

My tongue goes numb,
And I can’t feel my face
When I see
My lovely Grace.

My feet itch,
My buttocks yawn
When I see
My darling Dawn.

I think that college
Did this to me,
‘Cause I’m a bachelor
In the first degree.
