The Battle of the Flu

Sneeze sniffle cough cough Body why can't you fight this off? Sniffle sneeze sniffle sneeze Damnit kill this virus please! A war inside my body, so it seems to go on And all I can do is sit here, like a weary pawn Try to sleep all day, but sleep I just cannot My nose is running, my throat is sore, my head is just too hot I try to take some medicine, but man it tastes like crap Choke it down through watering eyes, greatfully put back on the cap With another cough my stomach cramps My eyelids feel like hot lamps My throat feels like it's burning The room looks like it's turning I think "maybe i'll go to bed" But then I sit there much to dread Sleep just will not come So I sit there until one Or two or three or four I wish to sleep forever more Or at least until I'm well again So I don't have to take this medicine I guess I can't complain I have had much worse pain I just need to get some sleep But outside my window damn birds peep Keeping me awake some more Till my little brother comes to my door Nobody can leave me alone today Why can't they just go away! Sneeze sniffle cough cough DAMNIT BODY FIGHT THIS OFF!Umm... yeah... *sneezes* ACK! I've sneezed and coughed like 10x each during this poem... *snnnnnniiiiffff* >.< Written February 17th, 2002 © on Feb 17 2002 04:14 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
