Some people need nose drops when they get the flu. Not me, Iīd rather wish I could cork it. Itīs like Iīm turning into a human slime fountain, going through a weeks supply of handkerchiefs in just minutes. Sometimes I actually lose more than my entire body weight per day until itīs over, even when I deliberately dehydrate myself, believe it or not.
It has been suggested that I should be brought to the Gobi Desert to fertilize it and I wish I could say it was science fiction but itīs like my sinuses are turning into the receiving station for a waste disposal teleporter in the phlegm dimension. (It has also been suggested that I, just like “every male on the face of the Earth”, has a tendency to greatly exaggerate my complaints when I have a fever. That kind of remarks are, of course, always met with the forgiving kind of silent stoicism that such innocent ignorance deserves). ;-)


It donīt help if I dehydrate
to turn it off
I still spray at sprinkler rate an’
I sneeze and cough
I donīt need a nasal cleanse
to chunk my stuff
Adjust leeves and tidal fence
īcos now my sinusī going buff

It donīt help to be rich
or stomp and pout
It donīt help to be cool
when flu breaks out
As slime particles they pour
Iīm not com-fortable, NOT
I donīt want these raspy cords
and all… SNOT!

You gotta not walk hasty baby
if you wanna assist me
It can be too slippy mama
I swamp like Gu-am you see
Did I miss my carotenes?
Or maybe vitamin C?
Adjust, breathe, this sinus-tchoo-nami’s
a wiccan, havoc, salt sea

It donīt help to pray, Nietzs-
che said Godīs dead
It donīt help if itīs Yule
when nose goes red
As my apartment is drenched
and I am sneezing A LOT
I sure am no ubermensch
Iīm just… SNOT!

Think Iīll need to sleep soon…

Sinus slime hurls soak my bed
Iīd say they make me red
Watch your shoes mama
Not your shoe size, maybe you should go (she fled)
You donīt have to be on the sea
to lose your latitude
I oughta know, Iīm all fluid, see
my nose and meīs in feud

It donīt help to just bitch
when woe is me
It donīt help to stuff wool
my spring breaks free
From influenza unwell
but thereīs an upside (SAY WHAT?)
I could flood the fires of Hell
with my… SNOT!
