A Touch of the Swine Flu?

DAILY SNACK

So last Friday night I started to feel achy,

And tired  and dizzy.

My throat was sore

And by the next morning I had a bit of a cough.

Swine flu!

Maybe.

My symptoms were very mild and most definitely

Not worth crowded, germ-ridden clinics.

Today I feel almost 100%.

By tomorrow I should be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound

And maybe even catch up the laundry.

(Because I know you’re wondering: The kids seemed to have low-grade fevers a couple days earlier, but have been in normal spirits with a tiny cough since.  Ed has been fighting something off forever and could be either the first or the last to get this bug.)
