Just Desert

I've got a runny nose, I've got an awful cold, I'm feeling very fragile and also very old. I'm hot and got a fever, my throat is like raw beef, No Matter what I do I cannot get relief. I've tried to sweat it out with blankets by the score, So many pills I've taken, I can't take anymore. I have a nasty cough, my muscles ache like hell. In fact I'm not too good, and don't feel very well. I think I've got pneumonia or pluracy at least. Nothing I can do will calm the raging beast. Ironically it's funny I'll have to come to terms, I'm a streptococci, one of a batch of germs. I'm a little flu bug, I never thought I'd see, The roles reversed in order, and I've given it to me.
