The Dreaded Cold

How I am feeling at the moment formed into a renga poem

By Chloe GilholyPublished 2 years ago โ€ข Updated 2 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

Dear Vocal Diary,

I had a pleasent weekend

With books, golf and games

๐Ÿ“–

In Oxford, I learned Renga

Haikus and couplets married

โœ๏ธ

I met up with friends

In a round of pussy out

Iโ€™m not sucking toes

๐Ÿฆถ

The winter air froze us all

So we warmed up with more booze

๐Ÿฅƒ

I shocked the gang hard

When I asked for tap water

Iโ€™m on a health kick

๐Ÿ’ฆ

Ketchup and ice cream; not good

Fries dipped in milkshake:success

๐ŸŸ

How did these bottles

Of ketchup land in my bag?

I did put them back.

๐Ÿฅซ

Jolly Rodgerโ€™s was lovely

Hopefully we will come back

๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ

Now I have a cold

Chasing everybody else

They went the wrong way

๐Ÿ˜ท

I cancelled my fitness class

I need hot tea and a bed

๐Ÿ›Œ
