Poem - Measles At Age Four
Measles at Age Four
red spots exploded
every body inch speckled
fevered dreams
drenched in weariness
mom offered ginger ale
bendy straw for cracked lips
curtains shuttered
avoid sun weakened eyes
head ached, throat scratched
no interest in cartoons
signaled fever spiral
emerged from haze
limp, hard fought battle won
perhaps future kids
can avoid this disease

(I was a kid just prior to vaccinations for measles, mumps, etc. I remember measles as the worst of the worst for me - just so darn sick. I don't usually climb a soapbox on this blog. However, how can there be any question about not getting vaccinated?)
