| Ew. |
That's what you generate,
incredible human body.
Just think: half a bottle
of soda filled, all snotty.
Clear if , lucky you, you're healthy,
green if fighting germs all stealthy.
Mucosa, goblet cells, and phlegm,
the words sound ill themselves.
Slippery, clogging up the nose
and lungs and making those
hacking noises when you're speaking,
telling people that you're feeling peaked.
Rest is best, and lots of liquids, juice
and medications for the symptoms youse
encounter. (That's New York for y'all,
attempt at humor, valiant effort - all
I want to do is climb back into bed.
