Poet’s Corner: Down for the count

Down for the count
By Jim Feiner

Mucous making
sputum spewing
I don’t know what my body is doing
coughing rasping grasping hacking
This darn cold keeps on attacking
my nose is runny, red and sore.
I’m not sure I can take much more.
I’m not the kind that gets real sick
when I do, it’s usually quick
so what the heck is going on
please end it soon it’s been too long
