This poem is not meant to belittle the flu. I can be awful and I once had pneumonia and it a serious matter. This is about a person who is grossly overestimating his condition. He is a bit of a hypochondriac. Some of my poems are on serious matters, others like this are written just for fun. Having said all that if you or your family have the flu, take it seriously and look after yourself.
The Poor Flu Victim (a non – serious poem)
My cough is loud
My temperature high,
I feel so awful
I shall die!
The doctor said
It’s just a cold
But pneumonia is
Starting to unfold!
No one seems
To comprehend
That this flu
My life shall end!
