The Cold

THE COLD I’m feeling pretty miserable, this cold won’t go away I wish that I could stay in bed, and not go out today My ears are very sore, and my forehead’s red hot too Is this a seriously heavy cold, or is it just man flu My throat is closing over, and my joints all ache as well An unforgiving tickly cough, is making my life hell I haven’t had a rest in days, can’t find a way to sleep Dosed with pills and remedies, it’s enough to make you weep My bones are stiff and sore and there’s a tingle down my spine This shivering, aching body, it doesn’t feel like mine I have a bright red runny nose and I cannot taste my food The Television hurts my eyes, this feeling isn’t good So I’ll just soldier on, and trail this carcass out of bed With bloodshot eyes, no energy and a badly thumping head And hop that soon, I’ll be relieved, from this misery and pain Until the next time man flu, comes to visit me again…………
