Not feeling much right now
except a bit disgusted.
I've got a cold in the head
that goes down in my chest
and comes up in a racking cough.
I've even lost my appetite!
I drank the rest of the cough syrup,
some bland tasting chicken soup
from a carton and lots of fruit juice.
I feel uninspired and a bit annoyed.
So many things to do but no energy.
Okay, if you want to know the truth,
I'm so pissed off, so frustrated.
You know something, I brought it on myself.
I was so busy last week
and ignored the signs of this,
the second cold I've had in two months.
It's summer too!
Thanks for reading
and putting up with this self pity.
I know there are worse things happening,
a war in Georgia and one in Iran
and a propane explosion here.
Yes, I know, I'm lucky it's only a cold.
I can still write an uninspired poem
and play with my cats
before I lie down
and have a nap.
I should be thankful.
It's an excuse to relax
and not to do my chores.
Hope no one out there
feels this bad.
Dribble, dribble,
hock, hock.
Keep your noses dry.

Oh dear. Take good care of yourself. Whiskey with hot water, lemon juice and honey will make you feel better, even if it doesn't treat the cold!

Get some rest, have a cup of tea!
and all will be healed
Lovely write.
Keep it up.
Thanks for entering and good luck

Tuck yourself up all together
Try to get some sort of rest
I'm away out in the weather
But I'm wearing a warm woollen vest.
Don't worry, it's only a virtual one. Take care. K.
