Oh This ‘Flu' Is A ‘Swine'!I've dreaded it since it first broke, This swine flu that's raging the world, And every day, we heard of more... As the statistics were unfurled! And every day I would worry you know! Though I'm usually not a worrier at all! But this thing is bad, and I thought... Oh well, I thought my body would take a fall! And you can't blame me for worrying! For every time I heard the word said; ‘underlying health problems', I thought, that's me, so I'm dead! Oh yes, I was very pessimistic, To say the very least, oh the shame of me! To worry and fret like that, was stupid! I shouldn't have, I survived you see! It started last week when I became ill, With a headache pain so out of sight! My temperature was up in the sky! I was hallucinating both day and night!! Then I got to feeling oh, so faint, I thought that I'd pass right out! But in my bed I was safe from falling, Of that there is no doubt! But the weakness that comes with it, Is horrible, I have no strength at all, And when I have a shower, I'm sick! Cos I really can't afford to fall!! And though I am 6 days later, I am still so weak and the pain in my head... Is still as bad, but not as often, And I am still laid up in my bed! But the good of all of this is, My negativity of thinking I'd die, If I caught this horrid swine flu- Was foolish, and do you know why? Cos I am here, sitting typing in bed! And this ‘swine' of a ‘flu' has almost gone! Alive, and so very glad that I am! But people, please excuse my pun!! Couldn't help it!! Like I say, just because we have these things... Doesn't mean we will die! I didn't! And that in itself is a miracle! Trust me, it's true! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
