Very Sick of the Flu

I find hard to move around, dragging my aching body, unable to do even the simplest chores... yes, I am very sick of flu: it's something I can't undo! I will not go to the hospital, lie in a comfortable bed for hours, coughing and sneezing waiting for a call... while spreading this virus and infecting others. I'm missing out on brisk walks that keep my immune system healthy, and no blues frustrate me more than loneliness... come spring and let joy renew itself in this memory. My remedy is Robitussin by far, a miraculous cure for cold symptoms, and since I can't go out, or drive my car... I indulge myself in the creation lyrics. It's my first day back to work, I'm drinking coffee, and I shouldn't, but these headaches won't go away... unless I smell it, sip it and dream away. Copyright 2010 by Andrew Crisci
