I've been battling a cold all weekend, one that has ravaged through our house like a wild fire. So, as you know, I write about what effects me, here are my symptoms as I see 'em. LOL

A Sick Man’s Lament

I caught a bad cold and I’m coughing like crazy.

Losing my voice now and feeling quite lazy.

Head feeling stuffy, nose running amok,

Overall I feel I’ve been hit by a truck.

I’m coughing like a seal from down deep in my chest,

I’m heading back to bed so’s to get me some rest.

I’m under the covers; peeking out in despair,

Hackin’ and coughin’ and gasping for air.

I can’t get to sleep as I toss and I turn,

My fever is rising causing me great concern.

Sweatin” and shiverin’, my destiny quite clear,

I’m sick as a dog; near my end I doth fear. 

Oh I know what you’ll say; put a stop to your whinin’,

You’re not that sick, and for sure you ain't dyin’.

It’s just a bad cold, one that everyone goes through,

You’re just actin’ crazy, stop singin’ the blues.
