the virus

From Grandpa to Family:

Monday night Alex had a fever and threw up. Tuesday night the family had dinner together. Within 24 hours everyone else in the room except Alex was sick.

The attached song commemorates this family event.



O' Alex You Caused a Commotion
(to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)

chorus: Gaby, Dan, Ivan, Barbara, Ken and Chris

O' Alex You Caused a Commotion
A virus that struck far and wide

O' Alex You Caused a Commotion
From this one we really can't hide

chorus
Take back, take back
Oh take back that virus from me, from me
Take back, take back
Oh take back that virus from me, from me

My parents tried always to teach me
'Tis better to give than receive
My parents tried always to teach me
Their truth now I fully perceive

(chorus)



Mom added:
You burbled at all of us, sweetly
then gurgled, and up came a mess.
Who knew it could happen so quickly?
now we're all in gastric distress!

(chorus)
