twas a few days before christmas...

and daddy's first day off,
when he was startled out of bed with what sounded like a cough.
He stormed through the door and was filled with dread,
to find his son vomiting on the bed.
Now one boy's getting over it, and the other's just begun,
And mommy had to go to work and miss all the fun.
She said she'd stay but I told her to go,
But I'm guessing she's outside hiding in the bushes...
or at least I hope so.
