Arfa Karim - I Miss My Tonsils

One winter morning I awoke feeling ill,
Nothing made me better, not even a pill.
I went to the doctor, my throat feelin’ sore,
It hurt so bad I couldn’t stand it anymore.
After examining me, what he said made me shout.
He told me I needed my tonsils taken out!
Then came the day, I was afraid it would hurt,
Though through the whole ordeal I was not alert.
After it was over I woke up feeling drowsy.
A few hours later I still felt pretty lousy.
As terrible an experience as it may seem,
There was one good thing—I got lots of ice cream!
