It isn’t the flu.
No, it can’t be the flu.
My shoulders don’t ache
And I had my shot, too.
I don’t have the flu.
No, I won’t have the flu.
It drags on so long;
I have so much to do.
But I’m coughing all night
And I’m coughing all day
And I’m so very tired
And it won’t go away
Not whatever I do…
do you think it’s the flu?
I don’t like that you’re sick. I like the words you wrote in this poem. It might not be the flu but it sounds like something is bugging you. So do as they say get lots of rest, drink plenty of fluids and call the doctor in the morning. Feel better.
Aw, thanks! And yes, I have been resting and drinking lots of hot tea and resting some more. Oh well, it will clear up when it’s ready
Yea they say it’s a bad bug floating around.
no its not the flu but i would guess its a virus of some sort and they are lasting about 2 weeks this year just for good measure. Have you been to the Dr’s?
That sounds about right. No, I haven’t been to the doctor – it doesn’t feel like I’m dangerously sick, more like the kind of thing where the doctor will look me over and say, “Viral syndrome, rest and drink fluids.” So why go out in the cold for advice I can give myself?
then rest and get better soon
Good plan
All that poorly stuff and you’re still creative!
It’s one of those “Oh this is so annoying it’s ridiculous!” moods.
Thank you! Hate January too.
Rest, drink lots and have a spoonful or two of Manuka honey to cheer yourself up.
Coughs are the pits.
Excellent advice – thanks.
I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks, Jo.
Well done on turning the negative into something fun and uplifting for the rest of us. I hope you’re feeling better.
Glad you like it
Sometimes I get silly when I’m stressed – might as well laugh if you can’t fix it. I’m much better now, thanks.
I think your poem’s clever. I wish I could be that creative when stressed!
