The Cold Invasion
The cold invading army has entered through the mouth and nose
Medications are ready to stop this relentless attack, trying to be composed
The body must prepare for an intense battle as germs are seasoned veterans of war
Exploding coughs are just the beginning of what I have in store
Fluids must flow freely to flush out the enemy from where it hides
As the invaders set up camp in my ears and throat, my energy levels started to slide
I can feel the battle start to heat up as my temperature starts to rise
A relentless pounding in my head was certainly not a surprise
Sleepless nights from coughing are making it much more difficult to defeat the germs, but a barrage of drugs is weakening their attack
After days of battling them, they are finally defeated and start to retract
In a short time, I will once again feel like my old self
Time to pack up all my medications and put them back on the shelf
