What to say...

Inspired by Rick Henry Christopher and C. Rommial Butler, here are the rules:

1. Must be 9 to 12 words

2. The third word and last word must rhyme

3. The poem must have a meaning to it

4. Give it a title that is relevant to the meaning of the poem

Hope this works:

Working through my sickness, I say, through this typing, good-bye.

*

All I need to say... I caught a bad head cold and am still heading home for two weeks... Will try to finish up some other work, but I am really run down and need that break.

Bye-Bye...

*

Thank you for reading!

    Get well, rest well. I too am taking a partial break. Like a temporary semi retirement.
