Spring brings
eye gunk
ear funk
nose junk
What luck?!
WEEZE, KOFF, ACHOO!
Here we go again –
WORST. MONTH. EVER.
Sounds like April and smells like allergies.
Spring brings
sick season
and a million reasons
why I DEFINITELY can’t go to school.
WEEZE, KOFF, ACHOO!
Forget the flowers
remember the tissues
and plug ‘em up these nostrils tight.
Because my nose runs faster than I do
when Mom tries
to plop
those drops
into my eyes!
WEEZE, KOFF, ACHOO!
Ears pop
sniffles won’t stop
head aches
and makes May the
WORST. MONTH. EVER.
WEEZE, KOFF, ACHOO!
Stuffy
puffy
and gruffy.
I itch for summer
and cry for July.
Spring brings
wind that blows
grass that grows
and pollen that snows.
I whistle when I wheeze
shoot snot when I sneeze
blow boogers in the breeze.
SPRING AWAY, PLEEEEEAAAASE!
WORST. TIME. EVER.
WEEZE, KOFF, ACHOO!
LOL-my Spring in print-love it 🙂 Melissa, you’ve brought the fun to allergy season!!
Love your use of that refrain and internal rhymes, you did a great job painting a picture of the yucky allergy season while still keeping it humorous.
thank you!
