Of this, I will guarantee.
Off I go, with different kids in tow, to the pediatrician twice this week,
Their strep tests came back negative, so no antibiotics for me.
My kids will be sick for Christmas,
Of this, I will guarantee.
My home sounds like a tuberculosis ward,
My kids, they cough in their sleep.
It's viral, they say.
It needs to run its course -- it'll take a few days.
So, treat it symptomatically.
My kids will be sick for Christmas,
Of this, I will guarantee.
There might be snow,
And noses to blow,
With tissues piled by the tree.
My kids will be sick for Christmas,
Of this, I will guarantee.
The holiday is only a few days away,
And they are home with me.
Perhaps, they'll be better by Christmas,
If only in my dreams.
