A man’s view of illness – and a woman’s too!!

I’m close to death
He’s got a cold
My final breath
He won’t be told!
I’m back to bed
He’s off to work
My legs are lead
He’s just a shirk!!
I need some potion
He’ll miss a meal
A week of lotion
Is he for real?
It must be swine flu
You have a cold!
It’s in my spine too
You have a cold!!
Is this my time through?
YOU HAVE A COLD!!!
I need the saline crew
(walks away muttering: “I give up”)
