Miss Polly Had A Dolly Who Was Sick, Sick, Sick

She's ill, and she's sleeping, and I've drugged her up good. She's refusing to eat all her usual food. She's snotty, and whingy, and restless, and weak; she's tiring, and loathsome - she's been like this all week.

I'm thinking of drinking; I'm trying some wine. If that doesn't work, I'll try whiskey next time... I've tried tea and coffee, and chocolate and cake, but I can see now that it's drink it'll take.

Is the last paragraph poetry or coincidence?

The whole thing is poetry - check out the internal rhyme scheme in the first two sentences.


Ailbhe, I don't know how you do it - thank you for sharing.

It's your way with words that made me read your journal. One of the first things I remember reading was just about putting out the recycling, but you wrote it in a way that made me want to read more.
