Cold and Flu Season

By Hedy Huss, Soldotna

It’s the cold and flu season.

The calendar says your body goes treason.

When you get sick, it can be dicey.

A virtual Kleenex and cough syrup conspiracy.

Sinuses drain, with a vengeance drain.

Sneezing feels like you blow out your brain.

The stomach works overtime to hold it down.

Uh-oh! Another round.

(“Clean up on aisle 9”)

Eyes red more this season?

All of this stands to reason.

Achy, sleepy. Five days.

It’s all blurred in a haze.

Flu and cold season lasts long enough.

Next time, be tough!

Get a shot of vaccine.

Take it, like a Marine.

Nothing to it.

Just do it!
