When Studly is Sick

much has been written

’bout men being sick:

they’re wimpy and snively

and not worth a lick.

and then there is Studly



that man among men

stronger by far than 

one even might ken. 

when Studly is sick,

though, all bets are off

his sneezes are epic

and, oh my, his cough!

he won’t take my help,

but, boy, does he need me

and heaven help us both

if I’m not there when I should be.

of course I’m aware it’s 

my cold he’s caught,

still I’m an an angel when ill

and he’s certainly not.

Poor Studly!
