A stomachache

I felt a little tizzy, 

like a knotty sensation,

never had I encountered, 

while sitting in my workstation...

It started, as an occasional ache,

changing into a rhythmic cramp,

distracting the mind, bringing tensions,

breaking defenses, demanding attention. 

So, I wondered, what went wrong,

bringing miseries, where it didn't belong,

nothing felt good, I wanted to run,

as tummy ached, I twisted and groaned. 

" Sir, try ENO, you will get instant relief "

my juniors had a sound advice,

" Drink something cold, let it cool down, "

My seniors blamed hot weather. 

And I listened, pondered a bit,

requested them, for an early leave,

" Let me lie down, I would heal,

sitting here, aggravating my agony "

So, I returned, to sweet home,

running to the comfort, of my room,

clearing the bowels, were first concern,

then searched for OTC medications. 

Yet, nothing changed, the hurt persisted,

a constant reminder, of underlying disease,

" Try lemonade, it will help " mother suggested,

" Don't worry, take some rest " father insisted.

So, I relented, took their advice, 

had my drink and herbal remedies,

and lied down, closing my eyes...

Resting the body and my mind. 

Hours passed, and I woke,

pain subsided, discomfort gone,

made mental note, for future reference, 

things that work, on these conditions. 

Was it rest, or medications,

a cold lemonade or gentle rubs,

tried many options, couldn't settle for one,

thus ended the tale... Of my stomachache.
