No Sympathy
No Sympathy
-----------------
I stagger round the house
convinced that I am dying,
completely off my food
and sometimes feel like crying.
My breathing is erratic
body racked with pain,
and I’m sure there’s a virus
eating at my brain.
My legs have turned to jelly
can’t seem to take much more,
I ought to call an ambulance
before I collapse on the floor.
I told my wife i’ve had enough
she said “you’re getting old”,
you’re acting like a typical man
and you only have a cold.
