Premium Member The Clingy Flu
Oh, clingy flu, you wretched guest, You’ve made my body your place of rest. You crept in quickly, with sly intent, Now I’m your prisoner, broken, bent. You stick to me like stubborn glue, One day you're mild, the next you're cruel. You tease and toy, you come, you go, A twisted lover, putting on a show. A fever chills my weary frame, You...

Premium Member Feeling Rough
Like a dog With a sandpaper throat A cough like a bark And the mood of a scrote Just tossing and turning With no comfortable spot A nose like a tap Simply dripping with snot I sweat like a pig Whatever that means And I fart like I live On a diet of beans I don't mean to be crude But I don't really care Keep your sympathy close With...

Refurbished Simplicity
My bed drenched in a sweat only a fever dream can produce. Clouds linger with a persistence that suggest trouble on the horizon. Breeze blows in through the smallest crack of an open window with furious intentions. What hell can compare to the pestilence of a seasonal flu whose determination trumps that of modern medicine? If I could withstand...

Premium Member I Cannot Unwrite Anything
I cannot unwrite anything Even if I erase this thing The truth is out of the bottle You can wage a war, a battle You can fight all you want Demonstrate, set up a tent In the middle of the street Shame comes after a defeat. The genie is out of the bottle The truth will set me free You disagree, you’re angry You can wage...

On Catching the Flu - Ifl
A thousand drummers playing drums within my head, like firecrackers bursting, Rivers of (whatever) oozing out, Trickling eyes, prickling nose, Snee..achoo!..zing...and sneezing...and sneezing! Every muscle aches, Feeling fatigued and flushed, Puffy eyes, stuffy nose, Bouts of throaty cacophonies come out uninvoked , Body sore, mood sourer.. Even the bed seems uncomfortable, Pain deludes, sleep eludes (snuffle!)...

Premium Member Poor Bunny Has the Flu
I have heard that bunny has the flu, I said. Shall we send her a card? Flowers? Take soup? She is in her element, was the reply. Her husband is waiting on her hand and foot. Taking her fresh radishes, carrots and lettuce. She is the queen of her bedroom. Everyone is doting on her and loving her. The flu was the...

Blue Flu
Bandicoot's bounce over my dead lead head. Grim the outlook, I am the grimness in my own storybook. Moods are my mannerism's. Gooey nose - a stonking flu got me now I mimic a monkey with my bullhorn blowing. When will the sun rise my eyes? Blighted by sniffles, I dizzy and sway to the 'Drug Mart', there to gag and goggle; at so many meds...

Stew With Nothing To Chew
Now, I take you for The Heady With this Rather Rough and Ready: Your dared cooking of A Dead Stew, In it nothing to richly chew And clearly no Lump of Jew’s Ewe... A Thing you can’t try with A Jew, Who’d go ahead to finish you And worse not bury Wasted You Under their Honoring Yew… I just could you beat black...

Premium Member So It Is the Flu Right
In 1973 I had flu-like symptoms and they were not getting any better. My husband was insisting that I go to the doctor, but a doctor is expensive. I tried to tough it out, but I finally broke down. My husband came home for lunch from his grocery store job. He said, “So it is the flu, right?” I said...

Premium Member Like a Family Flu
Some day when I am living far, far away I am looking down on this planet so grim, Thinking how so few of us are here today In my fantasy world all frivolity and whim, Wondering what happened to all my kin My! I should have kept better track of them. Even those of my kith who were thin skin Took offense...
