(The new fashioned "flu" is said
to be the old fashioned grip.)
The gods let slip that fendish grip
Upon me last week Sunday
No fercer storm than racked my form
Fer swept the Bay of Fundy;
But now. goodbye to drugs, say L
Goodbye to gnawing sorrow;
! am up today, and, whoop, hooray!
I'm going out tomorrow!
What aches and pain in bones and
brain
had | need not mention;
It seemed to me such pangs must be
Old Satan's own invention;
Albeit ] was sure I'd die,
The doctor treasured me
And, true enough, with his vile stuff,
He ultIns tely cured me.
As there l lay in bed all day,
How fair outside looked = me!
a smile 80 mild old Nature smilel
1t seemed to warm clean through
me.
In chastened mood the scene I viewed.
lnventing sadly solus,
Fantastic rhymes between the times
had to take bolus.
Of quinine slugs and other drugs
| guess l took a million
Such drugs as serve to set each nerve
To dancing a cotillon;
The doctors say the only way
To rout the grin instanter
Is to pour in all kinds of sin
Similibus curanter!
It was hard; and yet I'll soon forget
Those ills and cures distressing;
Ones future lies meath gorgeous skies
When one is convalescing!
So now, goodbye to drugs say I
Goodbye thou phantom sorrow!
am up today, and, whoop, hooray!
I'm going out tomorrow.
