The tale of disgusting woe

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
