Spring is here and I'm a mess
Cough, sneeze, blow, whipe, oh bless
My nose bright red, my head "out to here"
Ears plugged up, I need rest, is that clear

Everything so pretty with greens
Bright colors from flowers and weeds
But the whirligigs and dandelion fuzz
Make a wierd snow storm-like rug

Cold, sinus, allergy, take your pick
One or all your just as sick
How can a season with such beauty
Make me suffer and feel so puny

I heard of a cure today
Dig up the grass they say
Plant ivy and myrtle
That's different for sure

What do I do with the trees
Now there is stuff to make me wheeze
Its a lost cause too much to do
Now my eyes are stuck with pollen glue

I guess it is time to pray for a hard frost

Oh my, sounds like you are paying a price that is way to high. Your poem is adorable and I hope you are feeling better soon

Lost Dreamer, I am a mess!  I hope this cold spell we are getting will lay the pollen down, but the wind is blowing everything around.  Thanks for your wish.

Seymour, a doctor's visit and still a mess

Marge, asprin, tissues and bed.  You doctors give good advise

Sven, I didn't get this junk until the Golden Years.  See what you have to look forward to?  

Thanks y'all
