"I'm thick, I'm thick!"

I have the flu
I do, I do!
My nose is thtuffed
Like glue, like glue.

My eyes are running
My throat is thore
My tongue feels like
A thawmill floor

My head is pounding
Like a drum
Atum, atum,
ATUM, TUM, TUM!

I need the bathroom
I need it quick
Out of the way,
I’m thick, I’m thick!

Bleech, bleuch,
Ooops! Watch your feet,
Mmm..that feels better.
What’s to eat?

    That's very funny Lynn,and true.
    I saw your question in Monday's Mag. I have wondered about the very same thing. I hope you get some answers because I would really like to know too.
    Also I have wondered but haven't actually asked anyone about how long should you leave it before you resend a story that has been accepted and published before it is ethical to send it another publisher to try to get it published again. I know you must always tell a publisher if a story has been published before, but that's it.
    Have you any knowledge about this?
    Thanks for the poem
    Regards
    Lexie
