I’m currently tackling what I’d call a minus,

‘Cause something quite chronic’s affected my sinus,

I sneezed with such force that my glass got knocked down,

And it emptied its contents on my eiderdown.

I don’t know about you, but I do love my bed,

But not so’s I want to feed it a nice glass of red!

My Chilean Shiraz was s’pposed to last me all week,

But now it’s adorning my duvet and sheet.

I’m in high dudgeon, a state of deep gloom,

A miasma of misery’s pervading my room,

Dear reader, take pity, I’m feeling quite lazy,

And go buy me a bottle of Sangiovese?!
