Achoo !!

When I got out of bed
I felt thumping in my head.
My throat felt sore, my face was round and funny
To my horror I realized, the flu has attacked me!

Oh! the darned smart parasite
Residing in my body with such delight.
When I speak, in my ears I hear dum-dum
I cringe and feel like squishing them under my thumb (if only I could!).

In my vicinity, are dozen tissues wet with phlegm
Even as I am writing this poem.
The wet tissues are piling up
The sneezing and caughing are non-stop.


The tiny microbes are having a fiesta
Oh! Nothing works against these little fellahs
I am just going to sleep away my pain and agony
There is no better therapy
Other than sleeping away to glory !!
