Ode for Someone who is Sick

I wrote a snappy little Ode

to cheer up folks who’re sick.

It’s not of literary merit.

Its virtue is: It’s Quick.

So here’s to you, my Dearest Child,

I hope you’ll get well soon.

Indeed, I hope you’ll feel much better

This Very Afternoon.

I hope those throbbing aches and pains

will quickly go away.

I hope the queasy stomach woes will leave

This Very Day.

I hope your heart feels gay and bright,

that you restore your appetite,

that your spirits lift up,

that you feel just right, and

you are healed

This Very Night.
