   A Love Poem-provided by Herb Tiede

              I will seek and find you.

              I shall take you to bed and have my way with you.

                  I will make you ache, shake & sweat until you moan & groan.

                  I will make you beg for mercy, beg for me to stop.

                  I will exhaust you to the point that you will be

              relieved when I'm finished with you.

                  And, when I am finished, you will be weak for days.

                  All my love,

                  The Flu

Now get your mind out of the gutter and go get your flu shot!
