Conjunctiwhyitis

why my eyes gritty
red-rimmed and not pretty
conjunctivitis

why my lids slammed shut
what this sticky oozy stuff
conjoin whatitis

Thank you, Jan. Summer has hit my place in a big way and had to be in the hot sun with dry gritty eyes. Reminded me of conjunctivities. .. the poem just "flew" (as against "flowed"- just playing with words again, sorry).
