I Got Mine
By Danny Smith
Woke up today,
and felt real bad.
Was covered in puke,
so ran the bath.
I've got a lump,
behind my knee,
it's full of pus,
it hurts to squeeze.
I've got a rash,
around my nuts,
kind of looks like,
paper cuts.
Water is warm,
took off my socks,
looked down to see,
my toes with pox.
Looked at my arm,
to see a bruise,
from behind a scab,
stuff starts to ooze.
Got goosebumps 'cos,
it's really chilly,
got blisters on,
my don't be silly.
I've got the flu,
I've got a cold,
hot water pouring,
from my hole.
Got giant boils,
got dheli-belly,
got urine that smells
of orange jelly.
I'm really sick,
in constant pain,
but you know me...
I can't complain
