David Crandall Poet Rhyme

Cough Remedies

Psychological means are not enough
when you have a persistent cough.
If you try to will it to stop,
you'll flip  your lid or your top.
I wouldn't recommend a drop.  It
won't work and syrup won't stop it,
unless its ingredient is codeine.
Then, you'll sleep well if you know what I mean.

Ink Empress October 31, 2024 at 11:28 PM Yes i was having this issue last night, and ginger tea helped alot! It works wonders, maybe try next time? Brilliant write, and cough syrups always cause drowsiness, not cool. Hope you are doing well dear david; sending you light always~ David Crandall November 1, 2024 at 8:24 AM Thanks, Ink, I do have fresh ginger at home, so I should try it! Last night I only had one coughing spell though, so I think I'm about done with this.

Hilda Greenhough October 31, 2024 at 10:42 PM The flu season is upon us. May good health continue. Thank you for the reminder. I need to buy cough drops. David Crandall November 1, 2024 at 8:22 AM Thanks Hilda.

Lin Lane October 31, 2024 at 10:07 AM I know exactly what you mean. Codeine is an excellent cough depressant since you're so deeply asleep that you know nothing. David Crandall October 31, 2024 at 2:53 PM haha - yep, true!
