Sick Bay

What an experience
As this episode
Of food-borne disease?


Bout of bad break
Food poisoning
Stomach cramps hurt


Sweet dessert bowl
Odd bacterial strain
Feverish sensations


Excruciating pain
Hazardous purging
Troublesome strains


Again and again
Weak legs dragging
Body disarray


Anti-bloating carbon
Upset stomach pills
Pain in discomfort


Three days edging
A certain complaint
Suffer in silence


Touch of remedy
Hold heart steady
Restore the healthy


What a blunder
Of food plunder
In that wonder!
