Fun Friday*No Flu For You*

   To The Zoo With The Flu

What a stinken dirty trick
Woke up Sunday I was sick
Me the Mom, the Bram, the one
Who always gets everything done

I thought, "I can't go to the zoo."
"I'm dying here, I've got the flu."
But we already postponed it twice
Me not going isn't very nice

So I tried Tums and Imodium D
Even Mylanta and Pepto you see
It wasn't working I couldn't smile
How could I do the zoo for awhile?

I didn't wanna go
But I couldn't say no
I wouldn't explain
My tummy ache pain

"Are you ready?" DON'T RUSH ME!" I said.
Dumb people don't know I'm half dead
In the car, we didn't get far
"Stop at the Shell,"
"I don't feel well."

Breathe in, breathe out
I wanted to shout
Shades on, I'll sleep on the way
Felt like poison on this zoo day

Balboa Park, zoo turn at last
Parking lot, I got out real fast
A family field trip to my dismay
Good intentions and the price I pay

"Oh look at this," Oh look at that"
I spotted a restroom and in I sat
Came out and my kid asked, "Mom you okay?"
"Oh, I'm fine," I normally act this way.

Bus tour was the first thing we did
I popped two Pepto pills and low I slid
As the driver showed us an Armadillo
I thought about home asleep on my pillow

After the bus and one hour down
I was off to the restroom without a sound
As I caught up, "AGAIN" they said.
And a strange look from this man I wed

Almost to the sea lion show
Then, ah oh, "Woe, I gotta go!"
Came out and husband had a smile
Then we watched the seals for awhile

After the show off to the children's zoo
Yup, it's true I scurried right through
I washed my hands and I said, "Oh God."
What is happening to my old bod?

Then more fun on the sky ride
No restrooms with a pain in my side
I'm sick so I made giant bird jokes
What I'd do to unsuspecting below folks

After the sky ride we walked forever
My husband thinks he's oh so clever
He was taking us to the gorillas, Okay?
Guess we went the Missouri way

The girls complained they had sore feet
And they said they wanted to eat
On the escalator I enjoyed the view
I loved being with my Santiago crew

My husband loved watching the gorillas play
We all had plenty of nice things to say
Zoo day was fun, it was finally done
And weight honey, I lost a ton.
