My head, it hurts,
My legs, they ache,
My nose is full of goo.
I'm lying here, in my bed,
With the bl**dy flu!

It's worse when you're a woman,
You have a house to run,
You just can't take time out
like this,
There's housework to be done! ;-)

I've drunk most of South West's water,
Thank god I have a filter!

Cos it tastes foul,
But needs must,cos
My body's out of kilter!

In fact, my body does not know
Which way it should turn,
I can't get comfy,
I can't keep cool,
See my body, burn!

I am so hot!
(But not like that! ;-)
I'm sweating...shivering too,
I have one wish for 2009:
Rid me of this flu!

I couldn't sleep last night,
Know what I did instead?
I wrote this poem
for my blog,
Did it in my head!

But now I'm stuck
For this last verse
Oh what am I
to do?
Well what do you expect?
I've got the bl**dy flu!

(But I am getting a bit better... as I'm managing to read a few blogs today ;-)

If you didn't love me

No laughs,no smiles nor poetry
It would all be left to you
Get well soon! In response to your question at my blog sal: it is £13.00 for adults and free for children to get in Kew now but I also remember when it was one penny! On New Year's Day it was free for everyone though to celebrate the start of Kew's 250th year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping on my blog when you're feeling so poorly.

ReplyDeleteAwww poor you Sal. (((S))) There's so much of it about at the moment - every other person I know seems to be lurgified. Hope you feel much better soon. x
ReplyDeletePoor you Sal... but a very funny poem. I felt terrible yesterday & thought I wouldn't be able to work today but I feel fine today... strange!!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon xx
Hi - thanks for popping by my blog. I think the pattern was in an issue dating back to the 80's - and I agree it was a good read in it's day. Sorry you are feeling ill - the lurgy is all about - particularly here in Devon! Hope you soon feel better.
ReplyDeleteMary
Poor Sal! Oh woe! Oh No!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you are ill!
I'll call out Nurse Custard (Flo)
Mr Snippets can foot the bill!
Hope you feel better soon!
How awful...poor you. Hope you're feeling much better soon and that 2009 improves very quickly!

Poor you, get well soon. We seemed to have the lurgi for about 6 weeks leading up to Christmas. I told my Mum it's rubbish being ill when you've still got to clean up and be a Mummy, she rolled her eyes and said yes dear - tee hee (she has been doing it for a long time too - oops)
ReplyDeleteTwiggy x
Oh, dear - sorry to hear you are ill - love the poem though:) Take care and get well soon.
