With a running nose
and a heavy cold
in the chest
With incessant cough
and difficulty in breathing
resulting in wheezing.
the common cold
the commonest infection
gives the maximum botheration
than any other ailment serious
Lying down becomes a problem
with a raised pillows
and a more or less
in an upright position
one can close the eyes
and the heart going up and down
the person passes the night
almost sleepless .

One reply on “The Common Cold.”
Oh my…I had a cold all last week…sleepless nights were indeed part of it.
