My Cold
« on: April 11, 2008, 06:37:28 AM »

You became part of me,   
just when, I'm not quite sure.   
Most Likely in the subway,   
where the air is not so pure.   

Borne by airborne droplets,   
sprayed out by some sneeze,   
from some afflicted victim,   
then carried by the breeze.   

First my throat was sore.   
Now my nose is streaming.   
Viri in my head and chest,   
Their numbers must be teeming.   

It seems unthinkable   
that such a tiny sphere   
300 Angstroms wide   
has left me lying here.   

But, I know this is an old war   
my body's fought before.   
Little does this virus know   
what there is in store.

   
   
In my spleen the leucocytes   
issued with their warrant,   
spill out into my blood   
and are carried by the torrent.   

Into all capillaries   
and annexes they stray,   
seeking virus O-1-4   
until they find their prey.   

"Feed a cold" someone said.   
I ate and drank my fill.   
Knowing that more leucocytes   
would go in for the kill.   

Now I am much better.   
My head is feeling clear.   
A day in bed to sweat it out   
has brought the end quite near.   

Here is the epilogue:   
Just when I thought I'd won,   
I looked up at Fabienne   
and knew I'd passed it on!
