Christmas colds
Some brownie has washed my pots and pans And wiped the counters And cleaned the crumbs Some brownie has bought her sister clothes And cheered up her woes Even with tissue issues and cold noses and flu Christmas spirit is running strong Now if only our bodies would hurry along by mamajoy Sign in to see full entry.
