A Virus

A virus is a lifeless piece of D or R NA,
That can find its way inside you and destroy the brightest day.
It codes for reproduction which gets started double quick
And very soon you’ll find that you are miserable and sick.
I am sitting here and sneezing with a red and runny nose,
Feeling worse than rigor mortis from my hair-roots to my toes.
I’ve a shrinking stack of tissues and a bin that’s looking small,
I’ve a box of fiery meggos and a tendency to fall.
All because some lifeless virus, with its D or R NA
Floated up inside my nostril and took happiness away!
Author notes
Meggos are Meggezones, old fashioned cough pastilles that taste pretty horrible
but actually seem to work, even though most of the original ingredients have
probably long been banned.
