i beg of you

i beg of you -  Lemons, Pelargonium, Turmeric, Cinnamon, Iron, Zinc, Propolis and Vita C

who i downed this morning in my throat, please do not disappoint me

it is perhaps overkill, yet i need overkill this morning,

my lungs and rib cage  do not like this feeling

i scream at the top of my voice:

i need overdose, overdo, over-the-top - i have no choice  -

my chest is a battlefield on which a thousand and more trooping coughs

are bombing my breathing department and turning my energy into a thousand sloths

what if mister Cough never lets me win?

argh, i absolutely refuse to be bogged down and phlegmed in!

four years of coughing is four years too long!

Cough, i have changed my diet for you, even singing you a song

my sleep pattern runs according to your whip

what more can i do for you, strip?

you sneak in anywhere you like

would it please you if i pass you the mic?

you who so like to interrupt my every second sentence

you are really starting to annoy me with you raucous presence

you frazzle my chest, dizzy my brain

o you are such a freakin' pain

you have simply overstayed your welcome

it is time to get going now, you cumbersome scum

yes! Cough, get thee gone

before i wring your neck with this song

come on, go now, before  my insides burn

why don't you take a holiday, and never return?

do not hesitate or procrastinate

for if you'll wait,  i will turn into a more unstable state

do not ask me why or how

the time has come for your occupation of my lungs to end NOW!
