A Bali Belly

A Bali Belly
by Paul McCann

The hair of the dog bit my lip
and all I could do was just moan

felt seedy for a week and a bit
I called the doctor on the phone

The doctor said he couldn’t come
and he said to just stay in bed  ,

as there was nothing could be done

So I tried to do what he said .

Had to jump up couldn’t sit still
I had to run fast all the way
back and forth to bogs hole hill

As so it went all night and day .

Take it from me seriously
it’s like opening a sludge pipe
underneath a sanctuary

where prisoners are locked up tight .

Stuck inside with no where to go

I was such a long way from home

running fast and the time went slow 
There’s nothing I could do but moan .

Oh dear Lord have mercy on me 

I prayed until it was gone

  It just happens like that  you see .

we find a way to carry on ,   

The bugs that bite and germs that fly

Are always there they come and go  

They say hello and then goodbye

the recovering time is slow.
