Winter Flu

I have the pesky winter flu

and I simply don’t know what to do

for when I cough I loose my voice,

but cough I must, I have no choice.

There is a drip-drip in my throat

which seems to have no antidote

So I cough and sneeze and wheeze

asking the doctor to stop this please.

Alas, the flu will have to run its course

and won’t be done till I am hoarse.

Until then I will put my tissues in a bin

and make sure I take my medicine.
