Here comes the days of craving tasteless food To dip biscuits in tea by your bed Today I'm the exact opposite of a ***** Groans and hmms and spitting red Oh, but wait, my nose unblocked I breathe with both nostrils now The movie I just watched totally rocked I feel like sleeping again, but how? Toss and turn, take a pill Blowing my nose some more Cough drops? No, I've got nil **** my throat will stay sore

how to be an ill little kid.
*he got them in a box, over Christmas and he wore them everyday that week the pyjamas, they were blue and white oh how cozy he was each night* at age eight, the world was his oyster and he dreamed of hanging bridges the pyjamas, they made him fly oh how, how he soared so very high he tucked them away, as the flowers grew and away they were kept year by year the boy still closed his eyes, though he was led into a world, by himself the pyjamas, they were catching dust this world, a place oozing with lust he glanced at them, as the flowers wilted and glanced at they were, year by year it started a crack in the boy's voice Peter Pan was now fictional the pyjamas, were still there for him but he, took each day with more grim he opened the box in his closet, as the flowers grew again it was a metamorphosis you could even tell by the hair on his face the pyjamas, they no longer fit and now he, had a reputation of grit he tucked them away, as the flowers grew and away they were kept year by year *his son received something similar, over Christmas the little boy hoped for a video game the pyjamas, still blue and white held less significance at night* it was time to throw his pyjamas away he burnt his child-like innocence, as his memories - slowly - became dull, and grey
