The snot runs freely
Is interspersed by sneezes
And coughs and wheezes.
The end of winter,
Immune system is flagging.
I am easy prey!
Invasion by bugs.
They multiply, run riot,
They're unwanted guests!
Temperature goes up.
I sweat and then I shiver
Appetite has gone.
I wheeze and I cough,
Involuntarily share
My cold with others.
It's three days coming,
Three with me and another
Three days to leave me.
But what is a day?
Sneezes, snot and a fever
Mess about with time.
The sore throat has gone,
Nausea and headache too.
So it runs its course.
In the meantime I
Feel sorry for myself and
Long for summer sun.
Didn't see your post,
ReplyDeleteHadn't been checking lately;
No update for days.
Now I can see why!
I am terribly impressed
You haiku'd your bugs.
I've been playing host -
As I said - to Stinky Dog;
It's a full-time job.
Catching up on chores -
At least we have some sunshine
For today, at least.
