THE WORST EXCUSE
       by michael dare

      My nose is runny
      My head is achey
      It's really not a lot of fun to be so sick
      My eyes are teary
      My muscles weary
      I wish that I could feel much better real quick

      I'm not so happy
      My lips are chappy
      And I can't take another minute of this cold
      I keep on sneezing
      Coughing and wheezing
      I guess I'll drink this chicken soup like I've been told
      Slurp. Ahhh.

      I wanna stay in bed all day
      But not if I can't jump and play
      I wish this cold
      Would go away (It's gone!)

      I'm not a hypochondriac
      But watch my symptoms all come back
      I'm not okay
      I'm sick today

       Being sick is the worst excuse (Aaah-chooo)
       Being sick is the worst excuse (Aaah-chooo)
       Being sick is the worst excuse
       to have to use to get out of school

      I'm getting tired
      I'm uninspired
      and there is really not a thing that I can do
      It's not surprising
      Temperature rising
      I think my cold has just transformed into the flu

      I got a code and it's not Morse
      Just watch my symptoms take their course
      There's a malady
      In my reality

      No one can take my temperature
      Unless it's orally
      Underneath my tongue
      Will I die so young?

       Being sick is the worst excuse (Aaah-chooo)
       Being sick is the worst excuse (Aaah-chooo)
       Being sick is the worst excuse
       to have to use to get out of school
