Kicking It In The Head

I had enough last night.

Had enough of wracking cough

Congestion

Wheezing

Uncontrolled shivering

Inability to stay warm.

I said "Enough!"

And in my dream,

I dreamed that my body was

Germany

and there was an election

To determine my body temp.

All the districts voted

High fever

And when I woke up,

I was on fire

Flushed and sweating.

But it was gone.

No more shivering.

Coughing breaking up.

Congestion going.

Just the usual

Post-cold catarrh and

Boxcar Willie Nelson voice

That sounds like a heavy

Smoker who's packed in

His forty a day

Habit and is already

Starting to regret it.

Actually, it's quite a sexy voice.

A throaty purr over the phone.

The woman I chatted to

Thought I sounded hot.

Well ... I was.

They were demanding a recount

In Bonn and Hamburg.
