Manflu

Day 13  M

Get a lem sip

Quick

Man size tissues

Sucky sweets

Plump his pillows

Change his sheets

No time to waste

To the chemist

Post haste

But first;

Make some tea

Put on the tv,

Choccie biccies

On a plate

Cos he can’t wait

With croaking voice

He’s got no choice

But to struggle to the settee

”A sandwich would be nice love

With another cup of tea.”

He coughs

Blows his nose

Gives a weary sigh

”I think I’m going to die”.

Sooner than you think

”I’ll just make you a hot drink;

How about some soup?”

Before I go loop the feckin’ loop

”That would be nice,and

Pass the remote control”

Ask me hole

How much more can I endure

Some say ;

There is no cure

This snot fest has taken

Many in their prime

But I am strong

I will not succumb

I will nurse this man of mine

Until he can venture

From the sofa

Up to bed

But if he does not

Go back to work soon;

He will be well and truly dead …
