The Cold Bug

A little germ to bring you down Just when you think you're going to town A most unwelcome, uninvited guest One that robs you of much-needed rest You cough, you wheeze, you sniffle and sneeze Symptoms flare up at the least hint of a breeze Your throat's dry; it cracks There's a pain in your back Your n's sound like d's You can barely say 'l' Why can't this wee bug Go directly to Hell?

Yeah! Why is that bug here? Why fleas, ticks and mosquitoes, I also wish to know. This is a cute poem, a therapeutic lashing out that should have been medicinal in nature. Let it out! I enjoyed this very much. I sure hope you are actually well, at least by now. All the best ... CayCay
