That emergency supply of antibiotics & steroids.

My antibots and steroids

Are sitting by my side.

When I'm going to take them

Is what I must decide.

Last night when I was feeling rough

I thought the time had come.

But later on I changed my mind

Whilst sitting in the sun.

But then I started coughing up

Something looking green.

That's infection so I thought

But I'd just had a mint ice cream.

Later on I felt quite hot.

I temperature no doubt.

That surely is infection

So I'll get those tablets out.

But no, I see the heating's on,

I didn't turn it off.

If I take the medication now

My friends will surely scoff.

Deciding when to take them,

Is not easy you will see.

Unless you are so fortunate

To have a medical degree.
