Here is a brief little note to say
That right now I'm not feeling so hot
And I cannot write, no not today,
Thanks to too many vaccination shots!

Now there’s no reason for alarm.
I certain I’ll feel better soon
And there will be no longterm harm,
Just a headache, sore throat, and painful arm.

But in the meantime, here are your rhymes.
Now I’ll crawl into bed and dream of better times.
