I jinxed myself the other day

I was stupid and naïve,

I allowed myself to think a thought

That was too good to believe.

Winter it had passed to Spring so

I thought myself out of harm’s way

So control slipped and I allowed

My brain to itself to say

Cold season is over it is done

And I came out intact.

As soon as that thought occurred

The bugger virus attacked!

It started out with a sore throat

Like swallowing broken glass

And I’ve been in bed for days

Waiting for this to pass.

So here I am trying to write

A poem and a rhyme

Cause I’m going stir crazy

And need something to pass the time.
