the rime of the ancient horseplayer

it's funny you say that, GR
because my Mom called me up a couple of weeks ago
and said I should get a flu shot and I just laughed
and said that I could probably handle the superflu from "The Stand"
if it ever came around, since I never get it
even when everybody else does
guess the Gods were not too happy about that
this is the worst I've felt in a long time
