inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 26 November 2021, hollow.
In distress, I was suffering, on back,
Handed unpleasant meds by the quack,
But his soothing was hollow,
And when doctor said “Swallow”,
I brought all of my supper straight back.

Yep, been there done that 😀

I’m still having flashbacks to all those times my daughter was ill, and we’d try every ruse in the book to get her to take the medcine.
