Man Flu Poem by JJ Evendon

Man Flu



Coughs colds and flu
Stomach upset, run to the loo.
Streaming eyes,
now there’s a surprise.
Hot temperature feeling groggy.
Lying in bed pyjama’s all soggy.
Flick the channels nothing on TV.
Looking at a cup of yesterday’s tea.
Popping pills as if out of fashion.
Bored - so it’s more of a distraction.
Eyes swollen pain in the head.
Not feeling well so staying in bed.
Phone rings – who could this be?
It’s the girlfriend who wants to come and nurse me.
Jump out of bed and get dressed in a flash.
Comb my hair and give my face a splash.
Door bell rings and there she stands,
greets me with a kiss and takes my hand
I’m soon stretched out on the settee
curled up next to her with a warm cup of tea.
Time passes, time is forgotten,
for I feel good and no longer rotten
