That one time when my feet hurt
and one ear was blocked,
and I had to peer over my glasses
if I wanted to read anything,
and every so often I was beset
with a wheezy, chesty cough,
and I wondered what I could be
if I weren’t quite so human.

Stellar last line and great title. From beginning to end, then, a jewel.
Thanks so much, Angie!
