When someone has the shingles
it’s pretty hard to sing.
It’s also hard to mingle.
It wouldn’t hurt a thing.
But time provides the healing.
A doctor helps a lot.
And now you’re getting better,
but still, try not to trot.
Soon your “All Well” is coming,
and Warren takes his naps.
You’ll look back on your illness,
and say, “It was a snap!”
