MY INSIDE, SUMMER COLD!

I caught an inside summer cold--
I caught it in the house!!
I wasn't even having fun--
I was chasing a mouse!!

At least that's what my small cats thought,
when they heard all the noise--
for me, it was the sanding,
and other building joys!

It stuffed my nose up real well--
it stuffed my lungs up, too!
I coughed until I saw blue stars,
and couldn't wear my shoes!

I coughed and hacked, but painted straight!
I wanted to do well,
but when I woke up speaking French
I knew it was the smell

of paint. My precious family home
had cost me my good health,
but when my agent found me out,
that French, it brought me wealth!
