I often have a cough.
Like a special winter friend.
The kind that will not leave, no matter what I do.
She (oh yes, it's a she) harassed me last night.
She woke me from my sleep, moved me to the couch, rattled my brain, scratched my throat and made a bizarre noise in-between breaths.
She is obnoxious, powerful, and loud.
She laughs in the face of the Ugh relief.
How dare she?
I think I hate her.

How frustrating that you are sick again. How dare SHE laugh in the face of UGH!
Hope you find relief soon!
Sorry about the cough. I loved your poem though!
HATE is such a strong word - but I, too, use it often when SHE comes to visit me as well. She is awful and she is powerful and strong. She seems to linger longer with me than anyone else I know.
I am sick that you haven't found relief with UGH!
Lovely poem this morning! Hope you are able to rest and shake her free quickly!
This is the pits but a great poem. I hope you are well enough for creative Friday today. Bad timing.
Mya has a cough that keeps ME up at night...oh the humanity!
cute poem. I have a sore throat this morning, so I read it with 'sore throat' instead of 'cough'! UGGHH...
Seriously, laughing at Ugh relief? Definitely a she. I'd hate her too.
I feel your pain, I mean your cough. I sound like a seal over here. What to do? Is there a remedy for the lingering cough phlegm fest?
hey scratchy voice and yucky cough give jill a break - she must sleep so she has the time to blog.
So sorry you are sick. But hey, it's an excuse to curl up and read or watch tv...and eat ice cream. Feel better soon!
Sweet, another poem! I can't believe your cough laughs in the face of Ugh Relief. What in the world? Good thing you have the Vicks foot treatment, eh? and I'll hook you up with some cough drops.
You are so cute! I love the poem, but am so sorry about the cough! They are the worst, esp. at night!!
Dump her, Jill. No friend is worth that price.
I cough there for I am!
I am with you on this problem. Seems the cough will never go away. The last of the cold I had 3-4 weeks ago.Every one keeps telling me it will go away soon.
Loved the poem!
Oh no, not again? Are you sure you're not allergic to something? Your poem is a delight, but I'm sorry it's all about feeling poo. I hope your 'friend' gets called away soon...xxx
I have a terrible cough too!! This poem is great for me! Hope yours is over fast.. I am ready for a good nights sleep as well!
That stinks. Weston is currently living with one as well and it's making me crazy and I am not even the one suffering. I hope you get rid of it soon!
I am so sorry you're sick again. My daughter has had the this lingering cough for several weeks and she can not shake it off...poor kid.
Please do take care of yourself.
One Nostril, My Cough. If you keep getting sick you may one day publish a best selling poetry book! But would it be worth it?
Oh, Jill! I love you. You're hilarious.
Hope you're feeling better.
I know! I guess 2 weeks was too long to be healthy in my house because both girls were coughing today and had super runny noses. I decided that if I pretend they are not getting sick, they won't get sick. It just might push me over the edge if we start the cycle of the 5 week sickness all over again.
I love your Ugh relief! You are witty as heck even on your bad days!
oh my! I did not realize you were sick again!!!!!! yuck!
I hate the cough too, especially when it keeps you up.
coughs are terrible. you're quite the poet when it comes to ailments. :)
I had no idea you were a poet.
I'm sorry you had a rough week. I hope you are feeling better now.
Well, I hope by now her visit is over and you're back to getting a good night's sleep!
