Flu, colds

Colds come and make you blow your nose
They make you cough and make you sneeze
Tiredness from your head to your toes
As you breathe in you find you wheeze
Its the curse of dark winter days
Micro invaders make you feel so grotty
Viral attacks in this annual dark phase
They make throats burn and noses quite snotty
It’s true that lemsip will try its best
Paracetemol  Ibuprofen assist
Days off work in bed having a rest
And maybe another day’ll be missed
So now I’ll say this loud and quite bold
Damn you foul winter and damn you cold

Health and Safety Disclaimer :

1) Don’t mix lemsip with parecetemol (lemsip is disgusting anyway so I’d just go for paracetemol)

2) Don’t do that joke about why are there no aspirin in the jungle (because the parrots ate em all)

Jack Frost, Flu Virus, Black Ice, Yellow Snow and Darkness at 5pm
These are the biggest evils of winter and must be stopped at all costs (maybe by the onset of spring?)

Sunday

Horses communicate with their ears, and white horses are born black.

Flu symptoms tend to appear more rapidly than colds (if I had known this the previous Wednesday when my symptoms appeared between 6.30 and 7 I may have consulted a Doctor sooner). I learnt today that I definately had flu.

Christmas Eve

The day before christmas is here,
And I would usually go out for beer,
Maybe meet a mate,
And stay out late,
But flu has worked against me this year.

Being Isolated

I am sure that everyone wants to know how I stop myself going mad being in my room for the 5th day (apart from 2 excursions into the outside world which exhausted me).

~

When on my own in my room its so still,
There is no noise and the world’s so tranquil,
So I can at last find,
That voice in my mind,
Saying “kill kill kill kill kill laugh madly then kill”

(or alternatively watch tv online)
