Limericks cum sonnet

 Whence this cough-n-cold?

  A dis-ease centuries old!

  Makes you feel awkward,

  Life seems to run backward.

  No fever, no bad body ache.

  In runny nostrils for life's sake

   Some room for oxygen you make

   With each deep breath you take.

    Speaking is tough. In ears ring

    The distant songs sirens sing

     Of the creaky hospital bed's spring.

     The very thought makes the mood swing! 

     To the old adage, 'health as wealth', cling

      Thus alone can you lead life like a king!
