MY FLU STORY

I was down with flu,
the whole of last week.
What a miserable sight it was,
both for the strong and the meek.

For once I had become famous,
for I might have been the chosen one.
For God might have bestowed the baton,
to carry the notorious H1N1.

As I lay in my bed sick and weary,
popping multicolor pills each day.
Dreading to go to government clinic,
no H1N1,was the only thing I prayed.


Well my symptoms partially matched,
those of the dangerous swine flu.
I still got calls from my near and dear,
consoling me for the misfortune.

I tried to explain that I ain't positive,
and that I might recover in 2 days.
But that wont stop the stories in making,
for gossip is what all love to say.

No respite from work as boss caught me on phone,
asked me to take ample rest.
But before finish the pending work,
that in wake of sickness, I had left.

What an irony I thought,
was anyone really worried about me.
No doubts my family and friends were,
just Thee I didn't expect few things.

I have fully recovered now,
will be joining office from tomorrow.
Wondering if the virus had left me for good,
for few revelations are rightly understood!
