007 - Ill

I’m not feeling very well

I’ve got this nasty cough

It’s driving me insane

I’ve just about had enough

I’m gonna work from home this week

That ought to be OK

Though I’m feeling very guilty

People please - just stay away

I’m all bunged up and headachy

And feeling very tired

The state I’m in is terrible

It’s not to be admired

I gave myself a COVID test

It said I was alright

I suppose I’ll just have to carry on

And get better overnight?
