An acrostic on the flu

Tingling stomach and then a cramp
Heaving and belching like a tramp
End of life feels oh so near

Feeling oh so sick my dear
Looking at the bathroom door
Unless you lose it on the floor

And the more you look, the sicker you get
Not time enough to make a bet
Darting across the floor so fast

You knock down everything you've passed
Oh the minutes they move so slow
Until the time again will come to go
