My apologies if this post is late I'm contending with something I hate No matter what I've tried to do I can't get rid of this blasted flu I've aching bones, a pounding head I'd rather just stay in bed My ears are plugged, can't hear a thing Even when the telephone rings How many boxes of tissues I've used? Countless, my poor nostrils are abused And I blow and blow but all for naught Because I've an endless supply of snot.
