Poem 99 - Terrible Cold


Ear Drops trickling down my throat
Sending the ear pain a serious note
Telling it to go very far away from my ear
Telling it that the movers and packers are here

I lied on the bed one ear facing the roof, another to the pillow
Tired of lying, waiting for the tremendous cold to go
I felt the drops going more in and in
It felt like it was touching my inner skin

I knew the drops will take effect at any point
Again me and my ear will be happily joint
My taste buds too had unfortunately stopped having fun
My mother put salt on a lemon and made me lick the lemon

Yes now the pain was going, My taste buds were back
To taste all foods, now my lips did smack
Oh! I am happy the ear pain and all have run off
They have taken away the cold and the terrible cough
-Gaurang Rao

    I've never heard of the salt on a lemon thing. Does it help?

    Clever take on a subject too often in want of being forgotten. Painful memories of earaches and sorethroats. Great capture of the cold.
