Trees, Grasses and Weeds

Oh woe is me

For you see

Things are growing

And my allergies are showing

I sneeze all day

And what can I say

I sneeze at night

I am a fright

But if I take a pill

The sniffles I kill

And I can breathe

Without having to leave

The beautiful yard

Where I worked so hard

To grow my flowers

I weeded for hours

So be gone pollen

The suffering has fallen

I can sit in the sun

And have summer time fun

  1. You write so beautifully and effortlessly, Leigha!! But if you really allergic to these seasonal changes , please do take care of yourself well.

    1. Yeah, sadly I do suffer from allergies, but a lot of it is brought on by love – I am allergic to cats I discovered after I had them for years and I will not part with them, I just stock up on more Kleenex. Ha, ha! 🤧

      1. I had a sparrow , then a Koel, parrots too they are boring. Mynas I had two , I am in love with mynas. They are the best. I love your gramps if she had mynahs.
