Puffing Away

Doctors determined I've got bronchitis
Use to think bronchitis was serious
It's serious enough but certainly not fatal
Once thought it could make you delirious

Don't get me wrong, I'm not feeling that great
It's like my whole system is in a knot
I'm certainly not one to suffer from illness
Quite healthy I always have thought

Guess age is finally catching up with me
Free from illness all of these years
Thought I was some kind of special being
Sure got it wrong, that's clear

It's not going to threaten my life I'm told
But it's terribly annoying I'll say
Puffing away every morning, noon, and night
No peace, no relief all the day

Good thing the prognosis is I'm going to live
If I follow the doctor's directions
Take the pills that she prescribed for me
Till I'm good and rid of the infection
