Man and the Common Cold

Cold, cold, freezing cold,
Feeling very, very old,
I think I've caught the common cold.

My eyes are tired,
my throat is rasping,
clammy hands
tissues clasping.

Nose is dripping,
cough is ripping,
head is spinning,
feels like tripping.

Feel so bad,
What will I do?
God, please,
don't let this turn to Flu.

Jon, this is great, we have all been there, never read a poem about it though. Good punch line.

John, this brought a smile to my face. Not the situation but your poem about it. Very good.

John,

How well you describe the misery of the cold symptoms. This sure was a cute one and I enjoyed it.
