When You Catch Cold

Sickness can turn your house into a personal jail When friends come to visit you use anything as a veil The moments you lose track of the day and time If you need medicine you would spend every dime To pass the time you watch old episodes on Netflix Eating soup for dinner and inhaling vapors of vicks It feels like a vacation you weren't meant to enjoy Your phone, tablet or book becomes your new toy Every task that you had planned never gets done Your skin tone begins to change from having no sun If you're married your mate becomes your waiter Every sentence is "Honey can you do me a favor" When you're sick it actually gives you time to unload But this is your life in a nutshell when you catch a cold
