Influenza
IM TIRED AND WEARY I LAY ON MY BED
WITH A BLOCKED UP NOSE AND A THUMPING GREAT HEAD
WITH RUNNY EYES AND PUFFED OUT CHEEKS
I LISTENED WHILE THE DOCTOR SPEEKS
ITS INFLUENZA IT'S EASY TO TELL.
THIS POOR OLD SOUL MUST BE GOING THOUGH HELL
BUT A FEW DAYS IN BED SHOULD DO THE TRICK
SO IF I CAN FIND MY PEN ILL MARK HIM OFF SICK
THE DOCTORS GONE AND IM ALL ALONE
THE CURTINS ARE DRAWN AND IVE TURNED OF THE PHONE.
KIDS AT SCHOOL AND THE WIFES AWAY
NOW THE HOUSE IS MINE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
TISSUES AT THE READY AND IVE PUT VICS ON MY CHEST
AND NOW IM READY FOR BEAUTIFUL REST
