A very bad poem with inappropriate Shakespeare references written in a hurry for the sickly Basu

Ahana Basu was down with a flu

from where it attacked, no one really knew [1]

All day she spent indoors, weeping and sighing

and thinking up last words, just in case she was dying [2]

She listened to music to get inspired

But all it did was make her more tired. [3]

She tried not to scratch and she tried not to curse [4]

Her brother might overhear - things could get worse.

So, she logged on and browsed, remaining invisible [5]

In hiding, she knew so much more was possible

Sometimes she’d be down and start feeling all alone

Then she’d get up and dab on some eu de cologne[6].

And she'd tell herself, each time she felt like a spotted toad
"Just a few more days and then the chicken will cross the road."
