I have sore shoulders,
I have itchy toes,
I have high fever,
I have running nose.
I need immediate medical care,
Shall I call 911? I suppose.
But which treatment shall I get,
My goodness, it is hard to choose.
My eyes are wet,
My hair is loose,
My phone is dead,
My credit cards confuse.
My life ends up in despair,
Shall I call 911? I suppose.
How can I survive and feel fair?
Only the divine knows.
In a frightful mood,
I run wild in the neighborhood,
I yell,
I tell…
It is just a bad dream,
I wake up and enjoy my blissful life all the same.

So happy it’s only a bad dream! Lovely to read your post!
Lovely post!
I comprehend.
Dreams, dreams, dreams. Your poem describes the madness of a dream and how uplifting it is to wake up and know it isn’t real. You describe it in your unique way. I enjoy it very much. Blessings…
Whoa…good thing that’s only a dream! Thanks for your participation, Jingle.
Enjoyed that your poem.
I’m glad it was just a bad dream!
I’ve had real days like the one you described. However, things can always take a turn for the better. Dream on and have a great day.
Hey Jingle I would love it if you could stop by my blog and read, A Tough Decision I just recently wrote it and its on the main page. Thank you so much your comments would be much appreciated.

hi jingle!
it’s good that you woke up all right. 🙂
Very nice – just a dream 🙂
WOAH, JINGLE WRITES WITH A LOT OF ZEAL AND INSPIRATION. I LOVE THIS. THOUGHTFUL AND INTERESTING
I’ve felt like that when it WASN’T a dream!
But not today!
Ji, this is darling. I love it. Thank you for my good morning smile. I can always count on you.
Thanks for the meme updates too.
Wow! Ji, I’m sorry. I just reread this. It’s not all joy, though you turn it around at the end. Sorry. Maybe I clicked on the comments for the wrong poem. Anyway, your positive spin at the end sure is characteristically you. And I do hope it all is just a dream. If so, you’re probably tired from so much blogging. Hang tough. 🙂
brr.. good it was a dream!
i have very intense nightmares, and often, very often i really feel relieved to realize that it was just a dream 🙂
lots of love.
Glad it was just a bad dream! 🙂
Give yourself a break, Ji, or your dream could become real!!!

Dear Jingle, Thank you for joining me in my prayers at my blog for the well-being of my friend Corinne. Much appreciated. The circle of kindness and compassion shall continue. ~Punam
Thank goodness it was only a bad dream, Jingle. This was cute!
I’m glad it’s only a dream. What a great poem!
Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2010/11/02/silent-night/
Ha! Nice flow.. repetition of ‘I’ works here (often I find the pronouns overused can be cluttering, but you do it well here).

Brilliantly done, Jingle!
Intense dream! Beautifully constructed poem!
I love getting to share creative space with you, Ji!
I’m glad to hear it was a dream and you aren’t really sick.
What a relief to know it was just a dream! I’ve had a couple of dreams which I thought were real, and I woke up crying, thinking they were true! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Cheers!!!
