When you've got the Flu
By J. p. McEVOY.

By J. p. McEVOY.
When your back is broke and your eyes are
blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your tongue is
furred,
And your tonss squeak and your hair gets dry,
And you're doggone sure that you re going to die
But you're skeered you won't and afraid you
will,
Just drag to bed and have chill,
And pray the Lord to see you through
For you've got the Flue, boy,
You've got the Flu.
When your toes curl up and your belt goes fiat
And you're twice as mean as Thomas cat,
And life is a long and dismal curse
And your food all tastes like hard boiled hearse :;
When your lattice aches and your heads buzz,
And nothing is as it ever war
Here are my sad regrets to YOU
You've got the Flu.
What is it like this Spanish Flu?
Ask me, brother for I've been through.
1t IS by Misery out Of Despair;
1t pulls your teeth and curs your hair:
1t thlns YOUR blood and brays your bones.
And fills your craW with means and groans.
And sometimes maybe you get well
Some call it Flu-I call it hell.
