Shingle Bells
(sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)
On our way to Gran's.
Sam starts to complain.
There seems to be a rash.
There seems to be some pain.
We've no idea the cause.
The agony just grows.
We get to the ER.
And the doctor thinks she knows.
Oh!
Shingle bells! Shingle bells!
Shingles on the bum!
There's no worse place for them to be.
Thanksgiving won't be fun.
Oh!
Shingle bells! Shingle bells!
Shingles plus pain meds.
Make for a loopy, pitiful boy
Spending lots of time in bed.
We don't know the cause.
We just know they hurt.
As evidenced by Sam.
Who said he felt like dirt.
We pray they won't come back.
It was painful just to see.
But Sam, he toughed it out.
Now they're healing quite nicely.
Oh!
Shingle bells! Shingle bells!
Our poor guy's in pain.
You're not welcome in our home.
Don't ever come back again!

Oh my gosh. That is so unfortunate for Sam, yet so funny the way you put it to song. Hope he's doing much better :)
Erin...you're so funny! I'm sorry to hear about your unwelcomed visitor. I hope Sam is feeling good by now. These are times that we're truly thankful to have family to pull together. Great memories in spite of difficult times.

Poor Sam! I hope he is doing better....and on the bum....yeeeouch!
Oh.no.way. Seriously?!? That's so awful! I hope the rest of the trip went smoothly, at least. Love you all!!

I LOVE how you made a funny song out of such unfortunate circumstances. We all need to learn to laugh like that! (And I'm glad Sam's better...poor guy!)
