April 14: Cough, splutter, sniff ...

I’m reaching my limit, I’m going to go off

If just one more person sits behind me and coughs

I get on the train and take up my seat

Coughing and wheezing, their germs they excrete

Would you please just stop sniffing, do you not own a tissue

It may not bother you but I’ll soon make it an issue

And will you cover your mouth if you really must sneeze

Do you know how much filth is contained in that breeze

Please go to the chemist and purchase some drugs

That will give you a hand to get rid of those bugs

Or you could stay at home and save us all from your ills

I really don’t fancy another fortnight on pills

What is it with people who must get on my train

Do they not see that their germs are causing me pain

I’m sick of their antics, if you'll forgive my pun

But getting the flu is not my idea of fun
