Hypochondriac

I feel a tickle in my chest –
Oh no! I better take a rest.
My stomach feels a little sore;
I better have one cookie more.
Is that a sniffle? Oh dear me!
It’s time to lie and watch TV.
A funny ache down in my back -
Best watch a movie, eat a snack.
Now, what if my sore knee’s a sign?!
I think I’ll sit here ‘til I’m fine.
My lips are chapped! I must be doomed!
Best stay here safely in my room.
I’m lonely and my hands are raw.
My plan for safety has one flaw;
If covid doesn’t come to kill,
Imagination surely will!
