Illness poem

Last Friday I had a scratchy throat. It was the start of either a cold, or a flu.

The symptoms of each:

A
cold
, and the flu (''influenza'').


This morning, composed a poem (due to my sinus headache/toothache/earache):

I'm tired of you cold
It's getting quite old
I've had you six days
So just GO AWAY!!!


I read it out to a co-worker, who suggested it's more of a chant, or incantation -- kind of like ''Rain, rain, go away...''

Could be.
