Infectious

I sniff and splutter all the time

and film it on my phone.

The people flock to see me cough

and watch me writhe and moan.

My arms and legs get achey

while I put it all online. 

My following keeps growing

as I shiver, shake and whine. 

My temperature’s as high

as all my likes on Instagram.

An influenza influencer – 

that is what I am.
