Catching wretched colds!

Poetry 1 Minute

What could you do less of?

A thing I could do less of

Is catching wretched colds!

Dreadful sneezing, all bunged up

Or worse a runny nose.

You can’t do what you want to

You’re miserable as hell

And everyone will hate you

Case they get one as well!

I’ve taken all my vitamin D

A substitute for sun

Wrap up well when I go out

And make sure that I’m warm.

As for other vitamins

I’m stuffed with fruit and veg

You can’t say as we grow the stuff

That we don’t eat enough.

Whisper it quite quietly

But perhaps I do too much.

It seems I don’t get injuries

But coughs and colds and such.

Forgetting that I’m 70 plus

I push myself too hard

I fail to get the balance right

And end up off the track.

Thankful for the vaccines

COVID and the flu

I only get a sniffy nose

Never anything worse.

  2. I feel your pain. I’ve got a stinking cold right now and I’m fed up of it, had it since Thursday. What I need to spend less time doing is trying to identify which culprit passed the cold onto me. What a waste of my time, what am I going to do when I find out, sue them?
