Thank You, Sleep!

A-choo!
Boo-hoo!
Coughing, creeping, drippy, eww.
Flush, gunk, hic. I’m sunk.
Onomatopeia-choo!
Itchy, jitter, knocking knees,
L-m-n-o-pia ooze. (Oh, please.)
Quite sick. Queasy-quick!
Onomatopoeia-ick!
Ringing in my ears and head.
Slurping soup, I jump in bed.
Ticktock, ticktock, snooze and snore…
Thank you, Sleep! I’m sick no more.
Farewell, Sneeze. Bye, Bellyache.
I feel great. Now, I’m awake!
Ultra-Vultra, whoosh and whoom,
Out the door to play: X-Y-Zoom!
