Will or Testament

A sore and painful ship of sail
Plows deep within a bed of ail
To steer a course in tortured force
To find a patch of sun and moss

But blind is not a course to sail
When retched sore and sneeze prevail
When sore and painful tortured force
Brings havoc to the only source.

What fiend of gel has brought this swell?
This dancing bleeding awful hell
That chokes my throat and tears my eyes
And speaks in whispers of demise

We’ve met before this demon dare
Who tortures me in black despair?
He tests me every now and then
And swears he will be back again.

He laughs and screams I cannot hide
We live the very it abide.
But with my knell so goes his dwell
Perhaps he’ll spare me to get well.

One battle lost is not an end
Infinity has only bend.

Even thru the darkest phase, be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave, here beneath my skin
Constant Craving ... has always been.

If I beg, say pretty please?
(Here's a hanky for the sneeze...)
Ahem.  If I beg, do as I'm told
(Let me step aside achoo of cold)
Hmm.  Here, let me beg you, I implore
(Germs, get AWAY from Seymour's door!)
All right Germs!  Listen up!  Go away!
(For our Sy's got much more to say!)


I tried!

Your simple words would make me well.
