a haiku explaining my absence

My world is coated
By a fine shellac of phlegm
Getting better now

[Cough.]

    Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. It makes a good hankie.

    Oh, right - here’s a cookie. Infused with the Goodness of Chicken Soup. But not the flavour… unless you like that kind of thing.

  3. birchsprite Says:

    Urghhhhhhhhhh

    Hope you feel better soon

  4. Suldog Says:

    Yuck. I’m just getting over my cold. Feel better.

    (That’s an order!)

  5. mike Says:

    I knew there had to be a reason. You seemed in fine shape on Saturday, so I can only assume you picked it up at church on Sunday morning.

  6. Karen Says:

    Erhm. Sending cookies.

  7. Mabel Says:

    Bide your time there Sween
    Soon, we will all return to
    The age of heroes

  8. kris Says:

    GAG

    i mean, feel better soon! ;)

  9. Momish Says:

    As if there were any better way of stating you have been dealing with a cold. You rock! Glad to hear the mending process has begun.

    Hmmm. This post appeared 4 days ago. Since then… nothing. Must be time for another haiku.

    Or maybe a sonnet?

    Is he dead? Maybe that calls for a dirge….. Poor Sween is dead..he wouldn’t get outta bed..he hacked and he wheezed and goobered and sneezed, and all his readers, they fled.
    Seriously Sween, you okay????

  12. Suldog Says:

    Really, Sween, you’re scaring us now…

  13. sween Says:

    Sis: You also know what makes good hankies? HANKIES! (Weirdo.)

    birchsprite: Thank you. I do.

    Suldog: Yes, SIR! How much better, SIR?!

    mike: Hrm. Yes. “Church”. The Church of Sleeping in and Leisurely Eating Blueberry Pancakes.

    Karen: They were delicious. :-)

    Mabel: The Age of Heroes and — hopefully — far fewer inappropriate pimples.

    Kris: No, “GAG!” is an appropriate response. I’m never one to stifle one’s “GAG!” reflex.

    Momish: I considered rhyming couplets, but they just made me dizzy.

    Jason’s Dad: Yes, well I was so caught up reading YOUR blog.

    Oh wait…

    Alison: I’m just perplexed at the use of the word “goobered”. I just don’t think I’ve ever seen it in verb form before…

    Suldog: Maybe that’s my new calling. Instead of hoping to amuse people, I could aim for TERRIFYING THEM… mwuhahahahaha… ha… hm. Maybe not. Sorry for the scare.

make with the yak-yak
