Best Cough Poems

Cough,
O this endless cough
Don't know what is this
Asthma or tuberculosis
Allergy or real disease
Cough in the morning
Cough in the evening
Where to find the cure?
I consult to the doctor
But still,
No cure....

Cough Drops and applesauce 
Is what the doctor gave to me 
I don't mean to complain 
But in my side 
I feel a great big pain 
And doctors orders I'll oblige
 It is bad enough 
Every day is getting tough 
And now I am just...

When I was young, a coughing child
Who followed Mom’s commands
Would quickly cover up his mouth
With both his little hands.

Of course, he likely spread his germs
To all that he would touch
But years would pass and protocol
Would not change very much.

Today, however, that’s taboo.
You’ll get a nasty...

The past three months, since November
I have had a terrible cough.
It serves no purpose, there is no mucus and no echoes in my chest.
Just a dry, pointless cough.

The Doctors tell me it will pass, my lungs are fine.
"Loads of people have got it."
How many people?
No-one...

To tread lightly on Planet Earth
To dive in with a tiny weeny splash
To cover your cough and not foul the air with smoke
To ardently proclaim earth's preservation
   is an altruistic axiomatic asseveration to Gaia....

This winter's cough that heckles me
Harasses my health, and saps my confidence
That I can survive the misery
Of microbe wars and pestilence
Raging at my blindness and innocence
For I have never met any face to face
Never wronged them
Nor see to intrude into their space
But they drowning me...

I cough
The cough
Never wished to cough
I got
Got the symptoms
Symptoms so weird
I feel
The feeling
Feeling too awkward
The cough
It moves me
From head to toe
The cough
The cough
Oh! Its my foe...

Can you forget that piece of cheese
that you inhaled? Oh, just a crumb it was.
But breathing while chewing, then choking!
Was it Cheddar, Cheshire?

Or that Limburger, Parmesan?
But, oh, that piece of cheese!
Not a morsel you'll forget,
or a temporary amnesia that will bring you peace.

A double Gloucester,...

above the metronomic constant dripping of a tap

and the deep and heavy ticking of an old grandfather clock

sounds seeped through a window where the night air found a gap:

a cough!

 - then silence. 

..then a key inside a lock....
