I have a cold

We are in autumn

The weather has begun to change

I slept a little uncovered

It was enough to constipate me.

My nose drips

I have a sore throat

Hurts me the whole body

I feel very unwell.

An annoying malaise

That is bothering me

I should take something

To quickly cure me.

A Brufen or Ben-u-ron

With water I should take.

But it could be an allergy

With those medicines, it won't go away.

I can also try with honey

A sweeter cure

Just got to be careful

Not to be bedridden.

These are the so-called seasonal fruits

A cold or flu

Seasonal illnesses

That come and go.

For today I'll say goodbye with poetic kisses.
