When New Years Eve rolled around,
I thought, Jason will leave me now.
He showed no signs of leaving though and I hoped and prayed he wouldn’t go … but … Jason left me that day … for the HOSPITAL!
He bumped his head from running from that rubber rat,
I put in his gym bag, which of course I now regret.
When the gym called to inform me, the ambulance had to come …
Oh, my God I thought … what have I done!
I gave my husband a mild heart attack and concussion.
He was unconscious for a while,
When he came to and saw me he gave me a big smile,
“No you didn’t,” Jason said, “put that rubber rat in my gym bag.
I grabbed that rat when I reached for a rag.
I told him how sorry I was he said, “Oh, you don’t want to brag?”
That’s when Rick entered the room with a present in his hand,
Jason said, “I already know what it is, thanks man.”
“What is it?” I said.
He said, “Open it and see.”
“Lever 2000 soap?” I said. “Yelp! He said, “The only soap for me.”
Rick and I made a pack that we would clean up our act physically,
So we buy each other soap, Lever 2000 is like a reminder to leave the bad eating habits, and stay at 2000 calories. You see what um saying you feeling me?”
“Yes,” I said, I hear you loud and clear, it was like music to my ears.
I thought to myself this is what they were talking about, I finally understood
It’s … ” my BAD! But, thank God, it’s all GOOD!”
