The Cough


I've been feeling good
But then came the itch
A gift from a good friend
Well, bugger, that's a bitch

At first there's the tickle
Which turns into a cough
I don't have time for this
It needs to Fuck Off!

As the days go on
The cough gets worse
For crying out loud
It's just a fucking curse

I feel like my lungs are coming
Up through my mouth
And all in my bladder
Is going to head south

Tossing and turning
A near sleepless night
Bug eyed and Bleary
Christ what a sight

A coughing fit hits
Eyes widen! - Oh No!
Oh my! dear God
I've really gotta go!!

I can feel it coming
I've gotta run quick
Damn this bloody cough
It's such a prick

Butt cheeks clenched
Don't think I can make it
Doing the duck waddle
while trying to get naked

Phew I made it
But then the explosion
Straight down the crapper
What an awful commotion

I look in the mirror
Hair all a plaster
Eyes streaming, nose running
God I'm a disaster

All I can say is
I hope I get well
Coz right now I feel like
I'm going to hell

THE END
