Reading with a cold is fun. It makes your voice sound all rough and tough (even when it normally ain't!) and I think it gives this reading a bit of a kick. This poem, "Tooth and Nail," was first published by the fine folks at madswirl.com. After you're done listening to this piece, head on over to their site and give them a look. KOOKY FUN!!!
"Tooth and Nail"
Nabbed by the creeps, she fought
Tooth and Nail
Both those guys
She bited
She scratched
She kicked
And she screamed
but in a decidely threatening and angry way
not like a sissy at all
And Tooth and Nail got hurt
They bled
They wimpered
They tried to get away
cuz they wuz scared to death
of that crazy chick
who looked like easy pickins from behind
Boy oh boy
wuz they sorry that day
And the blood stains
ruined their favorite shirts!
