March Cold Conundrum

C Sick


A winter chill
brings illness
to your body.
You feel it
all over
but especially
in your nose.
Achoo!
Sniffle!
And your throat...
Hack!
Cough!
Congestion!
Mucus!
Yuck!
You yearn
for the day
when you
can breathe again...
And taste,
and smell...
You know
you're getting
better
because your
appetite comes back.
And your friends
aren't scared
to hang out
with you
because you're
no longer sick.
C sick...
Cold...
Cough...
Congestion...
See?

If any of you have caught the cold that has been going around and around and around, I feel for you.  This has been a bad winter for sickness.  And the pollen count has been high.  Garlic and pineapple do wonders for congestion.  Also try tea with licorice in it for coughing.  And if you're suffering from bronchitis, try oil of oregano.  It's just like taking antibiotics.  Most of all feel better because spring is right around the corner and you want to enjoy it.  If you are into holistic medicine then going the herbal route may be just for you...
