I'm feeling more than rough today,
but hope to keep the flu at bay.
I'm going to get my jab tomorrow
and pray the lurgy doesn't follow.
Me throat is sore, me head it aches,
but that won't stop me munching cakes.
But feed a cold is what they say,
so I'm going to stuff my face today.
A nice roast chicken for my dinner
though roasted spuds won't keep me thinner.
An apple crumble for my sweet
plus a king-size bar of chocolate treat.
By then my tum could feel quite dicky
so tomorrow I might pull a sicky!
Then Gaviscon, my trusty friend
Its soothing powers, to me will lend.
