Little Peggy Ann McKay

So, this was also completely unexpected...One of the caps(permanent) on one of my back teeth just POPPED off!!!!!!!!!!  This after a minor pinched nerve in my neck on Monday, an ankle sprain last weekend, and some other "female" issues.  HOLY CRAP, what else?!?!?!  I couldnt help but feel like Little Peggy Ann McKay in Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein.  I had to memorize this poem in elementary school and as soon as my tooth popped off, I just started reciting it.  I only got to about the middle, but I impressed myself with just that; meanwhile Leroy was looking at me like "What the..."

"Sick" by Shel Silverstein
"I cannot go to school today,"

said little Peggy Ann McKay.
"I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.
My mouth is wet, my throat is dry,
I'm going blind in my right eye.
My tonsils are as big as rocks,
I've counted sixteen chicken pox
And there's one more--that's seventeen,
And don't you think my face looks green?
My leg is cut--my eyes are blue--
It might be instamatic flu.
I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,
I'm sure that my left leg is broke--
My hip hurts when I move my chin,
My belly button's caving in,
My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,
My 'pendix pains each time it rains.
My nose is cold, my toes are numb.
I have a sliver in my thumb.
My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,
I hardly whisper when I speak.
My tongue is filling up my mouth,
I think my hair is falling out.
My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,
My temperature is one-o-eight.
My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,
There is a hole inside my ear.
I have a hangnail, and my heart is--what?
What's that? What's that you say?
You say today is. . .Saturday?
G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

Looks like Ill be making a trip to the dentist in the next couple days.  BLAH, not my favorite place...AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
