I was happy to impress with my deep singing voice <br />And didn't have to do what I didn't want to do <br />But rather than one or the other or both <br />I'd rather not have got sick. <br /> <br />I wouldn't have seen what I went there to see <br />And been assured of what I suspected <br />But rather than one or the other or both <br />I'd rather not have got sick. <br /> <br />I wouldn't have had the chance to juggle my 'rathers' <br />But know I'd rather have missed the chance <br />Than get the cold that I got on the train, <br />No, I'd rather not have got sick.<br /><br />douglas scotney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-d-rather-not-have-got-sick/
