Not Because I Coughed!

I have been writing poetry, fiction and short stories for many years and have completed a book of poems. I also enjoy comedy writing.

Get your damn test kit away

Not because I coughed means Corona is in my air way

So wait, you want to lock me up because i sneezed?

So my nose can't get irritated without me having a disease?

The place is cold, i caught a damn draft

So stop telling me to cover my face with a freaking mask

So what if I get the flu

My mama never panicked, she knows what to do

There is nothing a little vitamin C cant fix

Then if congested rub the chest with some vicks

Oh wait, don't forget that rich Jamaican chicken foot soup,

The flu magic remedy.

Now my cough is gone, my nose stops running and my immune is steadily.

So there you go, don't add me to your Covid Poll

I am still healthy, now before I exit your domain, can I get a drum roll?
