MAN-FLU IDEA.

AN UNDERSTANDING OF MAN-FLU.

Yesterday
my sister said
she had the equivalent
of man-flu;

so I corrected her
with the enlightenment
that all other
strands of flu

are inferior
to man-flu.
You should have seen
the look of relief

on her face
& how fortunate
she now
considers herself

that as a lady
she is incapable
of getting man-flu.
It's completely changed

her outlook on life;
she is now looking
to the future
with her heart set

on becoming the sister
I refer to as:
"The one
with a Mercedes,

swimming pool
& room for a pony."
