I’m lying in bed
I’ve got the flu
Don’t want to get up
To go to the loo!
Every bone is aching
My head feels on fire
Oh why do I feel
Like I’m in the mire?
Oh how can I lay here
When there are jobs still to do
The dog needs a walk
And a meal to cook too.
Life just carries on
Even though it is tough
To just keep going
(Stop the world. I’ll get off)
I visit the Doctor
Now easier than said
He says just drink water
And go home to bed
I lay there in peace
And feel the warmth of my bed
I hope soon I’ll feel better
No more pain in my head
The only advantage
Of staying at home
Is that the Olympics are on
So why should I moan?
I have all the time
To watch the athletes compete
While I curl up
In my comfy seat.
I’ve followed the rules
And my temperature’s down
I’m starting to smile,
No continual frown
I wake up feeling good
I’m free from the pain
Good morning World
I feel human again!
