Here's To the Flu

Here’s to the stomach bug, virus, and cold
Oh how your symptoms and side effects get old.

I hate feeling achy, tired, and sore.
I hate feeling pukey, which sucks even more.

You made me miss a day’s worth of work.
Especially the pay, the most important perk.

I hope that tonight you’ll grant me some rest,
So I’ll wake up tomorrow feeling my best.

Quite the clever ode. I think a flu 'shot' would finish things off nicely. I wrote Ahem This Phlegm which is similar, in a 'sick' way.
