PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’m just your average cold

Yes, so common and old

I try to be a big disease

But all you do is sneeze



I can’t be a tumor

Or an enzyme consumer

No havoc on the bladder

Nor can I make your nerves shatter



Mono seems mean to me

Blindness is that times three

If I could be a headache at least

Or an infection of yeast



THEN AGAIN…



Maybe I’m selling it short

Or I’m too quick to abort

With me no note is sung

Yeah, you’ll be coughing up a lung



And I can make your throat sore

Sinuses shook to the core

Not near a wound from a gun

Oh! But watch your nose run



I guess it ain’t so bad

I’m emphyzema’s dad

I get the summer off til fall

Then there’s the best of all



No matter what you do

Even take a pill or two

There’s no doctor you can see

Who can get rid of me!
