The hypochondriac’s wet dream includes some or all of the following:
Fever or high temperature.
Maybe a continuous dry cough.
And a sore throat.
Fever or high temperature,
fatigue too, perhaps:
body ache, chills, headaches.
Yes, I feel that.
Fever or high temperature,
and a loss of (or change in)
sense of smell or taste,
even loss of appetite.
Anosmia. That’s a good word.
I’ve got that.
Perhaps it’s “high” fever:
is the cough more severe,
with shortness of breath?
Is it — pneumonia?
So, I seem to have
high fever and anosmia,
muscle weakness,
a tingling and a numbness,
yes, in hands and in my feet.
Ticking all the boxes.
I’m dizzy and confused,
and probably delirious too.
That’s it, I’m off to bed.
… Wait, what’s on telly?
