A Silly Little Ditty

What can you do? What can you do?
Stomach in pain, Susie's back, too.
It's the same old refrain on a different shoe;
Uncertainty's the thing that makes me blue
so we muddle about in our mucky slough.
If 'twere fever I might make a stew
(Cabin fever'd send me to Malibu!)
But as it is, I only wish I knew
'Cause this tummy ache's gonna make me boohoo.
When it all goes away, when the pain is through
There's gonna be one big hullaballoo
Unless, of course, this is my Waterloo,
In which case I'll fulfill my rendezvous
with destiny. Oh, poo.

Journal note, January 16, 1998
