OH, NO---It's here

Oh NO….it’s here Hope springing eternal Bringing with it The plague of pollen That nose drip Even a plumber can’t fix Oh, and MUD… AND PUDDLES AND WET DOGS And those spinny things Fluttering everywhere And the birds Oh those birds, birds, birds, birds, birds The neverendingchatter Of those birds, birds, birds, birds, birds That chitter chatter squawking The beady eyes a-gawking Of those birds, A tree and wire choir Chirping lower and then higher Swaying gently in the breeze The same one that makes me sneeze Oh spring When I am inside I adore you But when outside I deplore you But you must do your duty Shake your pollen coated booty Tempt the bees in invitation To commence with pollination

You summed up spring very well. I've been sneezing a lot too but I enjoy the birds, even the crows. Thank you for your lovely write.

Spring brings beauty best seen from a distance. Clever ode to the season of antihistamines...

I enjoyed the amusing fussing about all of Spring's sickening-gifts. 'Shake your pollen coated booty' made me out loud laugh. If true, I wonder where you live. There really isn't any humor in allergy torture unless you make your own, which you did creatively. In Texas, I learned sticking a tissue up each nostril helped w/ nose runs, but that wasn't an accepted look at the office. I hope you are effectively medicate. 8 line fm bottom, 'on' needs an 'e'. I hope you get to feel well - CayCay
