Man Flu

Dedicated to Dazza

As promiced an ode to man flu

What is it with men with illness

why cannot that cope just like us

women seem to keep on going

and do not cause much fuss

When men have a cold, its man flu
a sneeze means the Bubonic plague

Ebola is why they are coughing

Their self diagnose is quite vague

I've slipped a disc its just back ache
from sitting there watching telly
That chicken burger gave you bird flu
and now you have got leprosy

A few spots is obviously shingles
You got Rabies from stroking a cat!

you cannot turn into a vampire
from holding an old cricket bat

 hungover? you are obviously dying
It is always just something you ate
plain crisps will not give you lock jaw
nor put you in a comatose state

You were trying to hard to think clearly
to give me an illness not known
when you said you having a menopause
i knew it was time leave home
