I Hate Being Sick

I hate being sick, I don't do it well. My private pity party Is going just swell. I cough and I sneeze, My nose is running away. I've taken my cold meds Trying to keep it at bay. I hate having a cold And feeling so weak. At least this fever Has reached it's peak. I must end this poem now, You know how it goes. It's time to get up again And go blow my nose.

The way this nice poem reads, you sound as if you are doing a Vicks NyQuil commercial. You have your usual good descriptiveness and rhyming here.

This should be to a nursery rhyme. It has that innocent cadence. I hope that you feel better. It is miserable being sick, especially as you get older. Regards and thanks from Gerard.
