Getting a cold!
How I hate
that annoying
little pest
that pushes
and shoves
its way
rudely into my life,
totally uninvited
and at just
the wrong time.
This tiny invisible
bug in my life
hangs around,
and around,
and around,
to annoy me
to death.
Well, not literal death,
though I am
feeling like
death is just
around the corner.
Annoying,
through a nose
that oozes water
and snot;
Sleepless,
from a cough
that never stops;
and disabled,
by a body that
doesn’t want
to do what
I order
it to do.
And then,
just as I
think this
mortification
will never end,
and the bug
is here
to stay forever,
it mysteriously
slips away
and goes to
bother some
other wretched sucker
who also has
to live
with its
devilish ways.
