#SickPoems
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
