snivel

A band around the head
another around the neck at the throat
and a third one around the chest.
A whistle in the ears
dizziness.
There was no drink taken yesterday
And still the pressure from the bands that are not really there,
is there.
Get up early and make coffee.
That makes everything worse.
Make a second cup.
That does not make things better either.

The son comes in, sees his father unwell.
So he runs into the sitting room, gets a blanket and covers him over the bed clothesl.
Now things are warmer, and the attention is appreciated.

Stay in bed until twelve
And then write these notes,
there is now soreness at the back of the throat.

Snivel.
Read about the american president. He is indulging in self pity too.
A horrible thought.
A spoilt brat.
wants a new toy.
