Little time, The Laundry, very ill
The steam from my Lemsip clouds the glasses of my mind
Tissues, tissues, said Amanda
And the girl with the eyes that weep a tale of mucus, laughed
A cough was the rasp that erupted
A cold ago
Now
I, in my bronchitic image
This Benylin I take
The chill east winds
Wool scarf-bears of us make
Flem, phlegm, Fleming, Phlegming
A tissue? Atishoo
