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 Jane 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
