Word Generator For Jan

A symptomatology buff
one morning was feeling quite rough
a cold his prognosis
no strict diagnosis
just one he thought up off the cuff.

Using the word 'symptomatology', from the Poetry Soup random word generator,
and as a present for Jan Allison, box of tissues not included x

Thanks, Andrea, I doubt I shall be using it again in case it brings up PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS. My Haiku would be ruined. Viv x

Thanks, Jan, I'm just lucky it didn't generate Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsan, which is a classic greek word for a fricasee of rotted dogfish head, wrasse,wood pigeon and the roasted head of a dabchick. Hell, by the time you order that in a restaurant, it's gone cold....... x
