Sleep.

Runny noses,
scratchy throats,
phlegm-filled coughs
and mucus moats.

Aching bodies,
tender nostrils,
wonky temperatures,
and PJ's with frills.

Napkin plugged noses
absorbing rampant goop.
Vaseline's a lifesaver
along with chicken noodle soup.

High on Tylenol,
hard to get sleep.
Add some Benedryl,
start counting sheep.
