Allergies

Even if I were deaf and blind I’d know that spring isn’t far behind. My trusty all-knowing nose would instantly diagnose I was suffering from allergies without rushing to pharmacies. How from these I’d love relief! Why breathe at all when they cause such grief?

Re your reply to Ilene's comments, M. I had a similar experience. I never was bothered by allergies of any kind until I came to Missouri 20+ years ago. That's still not reason enough, however, to move back to Texas.

sorry to hear of your allergies, maurice, but they did give you the inspiration for an excellent poem!

Thanks for reading my take on allergies, Ilene. Never had them until I hit my 70s, now I go through morning sneezing fests, runny nose and watery eyes! By the time I'm dressed and sipping my coffee and enjoying a favorite pastry I'm okay. – Maurice
