Seasonal allergies will be our demise!
The pills, the sprays, the watery eyes
If you have a large nose, you are asking for trouble
With a big old honker, the sneezes are double
When the mold and the ragweed are raging severe
Try not to breathe during that time of year
Just stay in the house and do not venture out
Do not let those spores find a home in your snout
Back down your throat – drains the post-nasal drip
Or – it leaks out the front and runs down on your lip
With a snoot full of goop and a big load of glop
It endlessly seems to just pour out and plop!
Your itchy and burning eyes are all puffy
You can’t smell a thing cause your smeller’s all stuffy
Congestion so bad when you sneeze you blow chunks
Antihistamines won’t even clear out that gunk
Sadly, you’re allergic to all kinds of things
Suffering in fall, winter, summer, and spring
Sniffling, and leaking, and oozing, oh wow!
You want some relief, and you want it right now!
The air fills up when the howling wind blows
All of the bad stuff flies straight up your nose
The grass, the weeds, and even the trees
You slurp, and you hack, and you can’t help but wheeze
Airborne allergens, the worst is the pollen
It coats everything as soon as it’s fallen
Just take one good whiff, and you’ll go see the doc
He’ll give you a shot, and that might make you squawk
With handkerchiefs, tissues, and sleeves of a shirt
You wipe off your nose each time that it squirts
All of that drainage! Where does it go?
Your proboscis grows sore from blow after blow
And then it gets worse –
The coughing, the choking, and all of the spewing
The snot and the mucus mean trouble is brewing
Then suddenly a surprise! A shock to your heart!
Without any warning, you sneeze and you fart!
