Got the flu

Head is pounding
 Eyes are teary
Nose is runny 
Throat is burning
Lungs are ablaze
Joints are painful
Body got the chills
Cramps are no fun 
Coughing, sneezing
Dribbling and spluttering 
Tissue box by my side
Swinging slowly in the hammock 
Swallowing pills and mint tea
I take it easy, 
There's no other way
Dog checks on me
Doesn't understand 
Why I don't play
Why there's no walk
I've got the flu.
