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.
