It’s Holly

i love this stuff.

i don’t know why, i don’t know how, but I got sick yesterday. It actually started Monday afternoon… i left work saying “wow, I feel kinda sick”, and lo and behold, my ass got sick. sneezy runny stuffed nose, watery eyes, sore throat, coughing… the whole 9. i went into work on Tuesday and tried to stick it out… but i ended up leaving around 3. Then I hunkered down with some Kleenex w/ Lotion and Vitamin E and a bottle of the good red stuff pictured above and called it a night. So this, ladies and gentlemen, is my ode to the almighty Nyquil.

Ode to Nyquil

Coughing and mucus doesn’t phase you,
You help me sleep through the night.
Even when my pile of gross tissues grew,
You made sure everything was alright.

Oh sweet red nectar of the gods,
your protective plastic cap is so reassuring.
even though most find the way i sneeze odd,
you looked at it as yours for the curing.

So Nyquil, I dedicate these verses to you
In all of your cherry flavored splendor.
You made my pain go away so soon
Just like a late night drinking bender.
