Down For the Count

Stuffed up and plugged up
My head feels all foggy
Sicker than sick
Aches all over my body 

Sore throat when I cough
Eyes watering like faucets 
Along with my nose 
Keep blowing snot rockets 

Feel drained of all energy
So sick to my head
I get dizzy and spin
When I get out of bed 

I'll want hot steaming soup
To smooth my stomach
I'll need food in my belly
So please keep it comin

I'm down for the count 
Though not dead by any means
Yes I feel like crap
So tired it's sickening 

I've been through this before
I'm no stranger to sick
The more that I rest
The better I'll get
