Ode to my Cold:

Oh obnoxious cold
How I wish you would leave
You have been in my life
since before Christmas eve.

You've given me fevers
you've given me chills
you've made me throw up
you've made me very ills.

I've used up the nyquil,
and the dayquil too.
The cough drops, the sudafed
are down to only a few.

Our relationship has ended
your welcome is now spent.
Please go away now
my body is no longer for rent.
