Sleepless nights
A Cough - a poem about about a cough by Jackson Monk (aged 38 and a half)
Oh rasping wicked cough
thou hast kept me awake enough
how i do yearn to make this worm turn
and spit you from my weary throat
lord you do get on my goat
At 3am the house rocks
As I search the bowels of the medicine box
amongst the analeeze and rusty Andrews lids
I find a sticky strepsil and some Venos for kids
Watching a b-movie on telly
in my underpants and barest beer belly
Wondering when this hacking will stop
please before my eyeballs pop
back up to bed for another try
My throat red raw my mouth so dry
it seems more settled but when head hits pillow
my larynx tickle and my tonsils bellow
oh please fuck right off
you bastard cough
Oh rasping wicked cough
thou hast kept me awake enough
how i do yearn to make this worm turn
and spit you from my weary throat
lord you do get on my goat
At 3am the house rocks
As I search the bowels of the medicine box
amongst the analeeze and rusty Andrews lids
I find a sticky strepsil and some Venos for kids
Watching a b-movie on telly
in my underpants and barest beer belly
Wondering when this hacking will stop
please before my eyeballs pop
back up to bed for another try
My throat red raw my mouth so dry
it seems more settled but when head hits pillow
my larynx tickle and my tonsils bellow
oh please fuck right off
you bastard cough

My best to you sir as you battle the bug. I hope you are feeling better now. Wish you could have been in Memphis - I'm certain it would have made you feel better! I actually had been ill most of the day of the show - nausea, headaches, but it temporarily left me when he came out on the stage. Didn't get much sleep that night, so that didn't help, but I suffered.
I hope you are on your way to recovery dear!

Alas, the lurgy has become increasingly virulent and I am now on antibiotics Worse still, little Olivia has now contracted something similar and I'm waiting for someone to nail the door shut and paint a large red cross on the front door .

Unclean! Unclean!
Hope you feel better soon mate.
I fear your internet access will be increased whilst your work will not...
...but on the bright side at least you get out of doing the house work as there is a fear of dust around the house!
Hope Olivia's better now too.

I'm not sure I should post this or not, but I guess it's better to be prepared.
