| | Your Absence Is Making Us Sick
By Tom Mulhern
Enough of this sickness
It’s time to get well
While you’ve been away
Things have just gone to … well,
Let’s just say
We’re all feeling the heat
And we can’t wait for you
To get back on your feet.

Here’s a short poem from a person of few words (and fewer thoughts).
| | From The Heart, Succinctly
By Tom Mulhern
To say that I’m sorry you’re sick
And I hope you quickly get better
Here’s a cheap card
Instead of a letter.

Funny get well poems should express the hope for a speedy (if not miraculous) recovery. Like this.
| | Better Healing Through Chemistry
By Tom Mulhern
I am sorry to hear
That you’re feeling ill
For whatever you’ve got
I hope there’s a pill
One that will make
The pain go away
With no side effects
For which you must pay
A pill that works
On body and mind
That doesn’t cost much
And is easy to find
If you discover
Pills like these
I hope that you’ll save
Some for me, please.

This next poem reflects one of the key flu control recommendations from the experts at the Centers for Disease Control. They didn’t put it quite this way, but this is probably what they meant.
| | Your Illness (Like Everything Else) Is All About Me
By Tom Mulhern
You’ve got the flu
Too bad for you
There’s not a lot
That I can do
Except to say
In the kindest way
Until you’re better
Just stay away.

This poem touches on the pitfalls that discourage so many from writing their own original get well soon poems. As has been made abundantly clear already, I personally am oblivious to these hazards.
| | The Thought Isn’t The Only Thing That Counts
By Tom Mulhern
When I learned of your illness
I wrote down this verse
With hopes that it doesn’t
Make you feel worse
(Or, heaven forbid,
Compel you to curse).
