A-a-c-c-h-h-o-o

by Charles E Minshall

The prettiest flowers,
Greenest bush or trees,
I'm sorry to say
Just won't please.

We cough, we wheeze,
We often sneeze,
Because of our
Darn allergies.

That is a fact of life for all too many of us Charlie! But I refuse not to enjoy the flowers, etc. nonetheless!

Fortunately not affected (yet, anyways) but can empathize with those who are. Cute and humorous as always Charles!

The cause lies some where deep inside us. We are our worst enemy.

That is for sure....lovely to look at, but some do have to run for the tissue!

Oh, for sure! I don't think I had allergies until I moved to CA. Got quite a laugh from this Charlie.

LOL! I can sure relate to this one, although dust as opposed to pollen is more my nemesis in the allergy department.

Haha yes indeed. Nature is good at making us feel her painful contradictions haha Nice.

And now it is about to be fall again... September usually finds me achooing and wheezing and to the doctor pleading for some drug that will work. Fun read.
