if they do not make you sneeze

Roses are red, violets are vile
Lilies are ugly, daisies make me smile
Allergies are making me sneeze off my head
I hate to say this, but I want all flowers dead

I cannot bury them in my yard for they make me sick
If you send me a bouquet, I will be saying “ick!”
Flowers are pretty, if they do not make you sneeze
But my inhaler is not near, and they make me wheeze

I am trying my best to not throw this delivery guy out
But he just brought pollen in, and I really want to shout
Roses may be red, but I want them dead
Now my blasted spring allergies have clogged up my head
