Author's Note
I had a flu shot. Hopefully it will be over soon. It was that guy near me on the bus coughing up a lung, making no attempt to cover his mouth. Thank you ever so much, kind stranger.

aww, hopefully it won't linger much. Well conveyed Senryu Gahdd :)
I've always avoided flu shots hearing that they make it worse, but i think it may affect differently for each person.

Merci beaucoup, Layla! I actually wrote the piece three days ago and, in my dazed condition, I forgot to submit 😩
I only drank water over the weekend, sweat it out, and slept most of the time. It seemed to do the trick...I feel much better. 😁 I appreciate your words of compassion and encouragement.

I've had my flu shot. Now we'll see if it did it's job since I read this without eye protection. :-)
Wishing yours is of short duration, Bob.
Nice penning, my friend.

Thank you Teri! I think the shot shortened my recovery time. You really should invest in a flu guard for your device. 😂

Given my mind, people comin' 'round here are more likely to become infected. :-))

Oh, it sucks..... hang in there. Hoping for your speedy recovery, and the chance to rest and be distracted by poetry while you wait it out.

Thank you, Soledad! I kinda fooled myself into thinking I was all better after 2 days but it has lingered longer. Today I am feeling much better.

A fine senryu Gahdess. I'm not familiar with the form but I love this. I just got over the flu myself.
