3556 - Shiver and shake

A dreadful night in bed, I was shaking
And shivering like Shakin' Stevens, then felt
Increasingly sick, hurriedly jumping
Out of bed, heading for the bathroom, knelt
Over the bath and puked in there, then helped
By bog roll, wiped the resulting mess, though
In volume terms, there wasn't much, and smelt
Fairly innocuous. Shivering below
The duvet, just couldn't get warm. I so
Worried I'd be like that all night, thinking
I'd have to drag myself to the doc's, built
Up fears of malaria from Malta - how
Long does it take to incubate? Waking
Too soon to builders' racket. Tired to hilt!!!
