Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]My mouth is wet, my throat is dry.
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And there's one more - that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut, my eyes are blue,
It might be the instamatic flu.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke.
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My toes are cold, my toes are numb,

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I have a sliver in my thumb.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I think my hair is falling out.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]There's a hole inside my ear.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I have a hangnail, and my heart is ...
What? What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is .............. Saturday?
