It Seems I’ve Caught A Fever

~ Frank Solanki

It seems I’ve caught a fever. The strangest one there could be

Symptoms include poor reflexes and extreme loss of memory

I’ve visited all the doctors. Followed their prescriptions

Forget finding a cure, my fever eludes description

It keeps me awake all night. The food just tastes so bland

There seems to be no co-ordination between my legs and my hands

I bump into people and objects. My head jumps from thought to thought

Only prayers can save me now. There’s no hope that I’ve got

This is a serious impairment but don’t you worry about me

There may be no vaccination but I’m sure to find a remedy

Till then, I’ll just wait for someone to come and give me a hug

And pray that nobody ever gets bitten by the love bug

  2. Words from a song,( Only love can break a heart and only love can mend it again. ) Without love we get lonely and distraught. Love is the remedy that changes our inner world and gives us strength to face each day totally oblivious to anger and pain.

  8. Hey there! My name is Ben, and I’m fourteen years old. I’m a big fan of your blog. I happen to have my own growing humor blog, and I was wondering if you might let me feature on your site. And if there’s anything I can do for you, just say the word.

  13. Nice one! I enjoyed this a lot. You know what’s funny, is that I had an actual fever of 103 degrees at the same time this poem was posted. I couldn’t walk or anything. It just made this all that more relatable.
