My poor mommy’s feeling ill

She can’t sleep and she takes a pill

My poor mommy’s got the flu

Her nose is running and her face is blue

My poor mommy’s got a cold

She’s to stay in bed and do what she’s told

My poor mommy coughs and chokes

She coughs very bad when she goes near smoke

My poor mommy’s got a sneeze

She’s also allergic to mushy peas

My poor mommy is feeling better

Now that I gave her a get well letter
