Head Cold

A cough and a sneeze another tissue please Nose runny throat sore fatigue and feeling wore Slight fever lost appetite wanting it to end to feel right. Vicks rub on the chest a little under and in the nose Wool socks upon the feet gotta warm those toes Plop plop fizz fizz tickles down the hatch Couch drops and a cozy couch for those daytime naps. Steam the room with a vapo machine and unclog sinuses breathe right Extra blankets and big fluffy pillow with NyQuil to sleep all night Eat hot chicken soup from a can drink 7 UP in orange juice Speak with a funny cold's voice mask up if you are out on the loose. The older you are the longer they stay stubborn head colds won't go way Suck on lozenges for that throat resist chewing them just don't And one day you will wake anew that old head cold is through with you.
