Frances Byrne Poet Rhyme

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
