With a nose like Rudolph and a throat like sandpaper, I want to die:

Oh, I think I want to die

This sore throat is enough to make a man cry

I can feel the razor blades inside

Pity there is only one way for the food to slide

First, I am hot

Then a minute later, I am cold

Shivering in front of the fire heat

Yet burning like a piece of meat

Oh, I think I want to die

Please don’t ask me why

Legs like jelly so it hard to walk

Shaking hands that can’t hold a fork

I know the other half is laughing inside

But not showing it – not hurting my pride

Oh, I want to die

Squashed like an annoying fly

Just take two tablets, four times a day

Are you sure, that’s the only way?

Of course, I would like to feel better

However, for now, I need a tea can you be my go-getter?

    Having flu is certainly makes you feel like dying…

    Nice advice

    Awww… Really descriptive poem. Certainly gets the point across of how miserable one feels during a bout with the flu…

    Yeah, it’s not a good feeling to have the flu but someone fetching a few things for you can make it a bit better!!

    Oh you poor thing. I do hope you feel better soon. At least you got a great poem out of it.

    Excellent work! It is no fun not feeling well or being able to function properly.
