Freezing hot,
Burning cold
Aching head,
Stuffed up nose–
Nothing worse
Than a Summer cold.

Was it the AC
Cranked so high
So the living room
Got cold air
By and by?

Was it the dip
In the local creek
Where we know not what
Got dumped upstream?

Was it the grandkids–
Germ factories all
Who are making
A gramma courtesy call?

Or maybe something
In the air–
I could a got it
Bout anywhere.

Whence it came,
Wish it would go
it makes fun less fun
Don’cha know..
Nothing worse
Than a summer cold.
