I should be celebrating Hanukkah. I'm glad there are eight days. And I'm glad germs and whatnot are not communicable via computer screen.
I can't write inspirationally just now. But I can leave you with this song...or else what's left of it....
Sung to the Dreidel tune.
My little gift to you...
The Extra Strength Cold Medicine Dreidel Song
I have a little dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready My fever and bronchitis
Then dreidel I shall play! have not yet gone away
chorus:Oh - dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready I'm more or less contagious
Then dreidel I shall play! I'll cough the other way
It has a lovely body I want to light the candles
With legs so short and thin but breathing's no delight
And when my dreidel’s tired if I torched my inhaler
It drops and then I win! I'd conflagrate the night
chorus
My dreidel’s always playful my stomach's feeling playful
It loves to dance and spin an ache is in my head
A happy game of dreidel I quickly quaff my NyQuil
Come play now, let’s begin! and shuffle off to bed
I knew it....
you can't get the tune out of your head, can you??
Me <--------an ornery little cuss when I don't feel good-- but you can't hit me...I'm sick!!(heh heh)
