Rhinovirus

A poem about a terrible night with a cold(er, I mean MAN FLU)

Rhinovirus, you're such a pain in the a$$!

You come, and start your brillowpad throat 

scratch.

Once I feel like I've eaten a woolen sweater,

You present me with passages, stuffy & swollen!

At night I stay alone, 

all suffocated and prone.

With sweat my sheets you doth saturate,

so that dawns early light I pray for and can't wait!

Yes, Rhinovirus you certainly are a pain in the a$$!

But if history's right, this soon too shall pass.

Smiling here....an ode to the cold? Yes, it can be quite a pain...and not just in the a*S! I enjoyed the rhyming in this and the fun way you tried to make light of feeling sick. Feel better soon. Remember to drink plenty of liquids! Lydi**

Thank you Lydia. Some of my best stuff, comes about through suffering. :) and yes, I have plenty of Gatorade. Not much of a water drinker.

A lot of people are getting the flu or the full blown one recently. Antibiotics and flu shots might do along with soaps and juices. I think you have described its effect marvelously...Bravo.........
