Spring Cold: A Sonnet, More Or Less

It's more than just a random sneeze.
I have another cough and cold.
At first I thought, "Just allergies!"
(This illness shit is getting old.)

Itchy eyes, sore throat, and head that aches,
The goo inside my lungs and nose
Combined with a cough that rattles and shakes
Makes me long for NyQuil, a double dose!

I've washed my hands, Purell'd them too
And yet the germs upon me leap.
I thought at first, "Oh no! Swine flu!"
But no, I have no fever steep.

So I'm sick, but not completely blue, for
I've now caught up with Henry Tudor.
