Flu
Throat dry
I wonder why
Throbbing, scratchy, tight
Nose blocked
Sneezing and coughing,
Dizzy spell
Am I unwell
My temperature is up
No appetite
My body is in a fight
Aches and pains
Exhaustion too
I definitely know I have the flu
Rest and hydration
Are the order of the day
With plenty of showers
To make this go away
Will I survive
Will I make it through
Who will win between me and the flu
Guess what
I am still here
To fight another day
Thankfully my body beat the flu away
