Ahem This Phlegm

Ahem this phlegm In snotty body Needs and pleads A hotty-toddy. Think a drink Or pill will Fight my plight Kill this ill? I might ply With some rum Debauch with scotch Numb the glum. Until that swill Outs this bout My poor sore Snout will spout.

somehow your humorous prose made the notion of being sick sound playful. i enjoyed this quite a bit!
