L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Spring Fairy Dust

Someone has sprinkled fairy dust all about
It seems this yellow stuff that’s coating all
‘Tis the annual springtime pollen settling,
If I could stop sneezing, I’d give out a shout.
But since my nose and sinuses are rebelling
It’s probably best to keep my nostrils inside
With an assortment of pungent nasal sniffs,
And spray the outside of my humble dwelling.
My farmer friend tells me pollen is important
Actually, he says it is the honeybees’ friend
But I’d be too stuffy to produce any honey
In that regard, I suppose I am very fortunate.

"But since my nose and sinuses are rebelling It’s probably best to keep my nostrils inside" L Milton Hankins May 13, 2022 at 4:22 PM There you go! I can stand anything, it's just that my nose and sinuses can't! (chuckling)

Kim Rodrigues May 6, 2022 at 6:22 PM Oh the dust! Oh the dust! It about killed me (I exaggerate) before my trip! Bought simply saline and Claritin. L Milton Hankins May 6, 2022 at 7:00 PM I found that Mucinex and MucinexD works wonders drying it up along with a Benzedrex inhaler.
