Atchoo!  Atchoo!  Atchoo!
I've got a case of flu,
My eyes are red, and I'm in bed
And I ache all over too!

I simply cannot work today
Because I feel so ill,
Perhaps some hot chick-en soup
Would help take out the chill.

My eyes are photo-sensitive,
So please pull down the blind,
And also fluff my pillow,
--If you would be so kind.

My head is pounding steadily
And my temperature's quite high,
I've sweat so much, the sheets are wet,
--Please change them for some dry!

Perhaps a sip of water,
Would help to quench my thirst,
And don't forget the ice pack
--I think I'd like that first!

My stomach is quite queezy,
In fact, I feel sick!
But maybe an ant-acid
Might just do the trick!

Please open up the window
So I can breathe fresh air,
For the room is very stuffy
And more than I can bear.

I need another blanket
And some tissues for my nose,
And aspirin for my aches and pains
And then I think I'll doze.

...I think I'm feeling better now,
So I'd like some tea and toast,
And maybe for my dinner
--A slice of prime rib roast?

I'm sorry Dear, but I'm worn out
From looking after you,
And I'm  feeling, oh, so sick,
'Cause now I'VE got the flu!

And since you say you're well again,
I think it's only right,
That you should nurse ME back to health,
Now please, turn out the light!!!

Ditto here, I've had it, didn't like it and now I have that 'lovely' barf up an lung feeling.
