Sense Sonnet - Acher

Bitten Abroad

I stepped on a bug in Peru.
The bite caused immediate pain.
But then the pain quickly withdrew.
So I decided to refrain
From seeing any doctor there.
When I returned to Canada,
I did go seek medical care,
Because my foot did become a
Bit swollen. I told of the bite.
They put me in an I.C.U.
My body is losing the fight.
There's nothing any one can do.

No Peru bug serum is why
The doctors say I'm gonna die.
