Ode(s) to Ragweed

allergy

The weather has been very close to perfect here at the Boggy Thicket for the last week or so – clear blue skies, low temperatures just below 60°, highs in the low 80s and low humidity.  Unfortunately, that is also perfect weather for Ragweed!

That has led to sneezing, sinus headaches and a couple of poems ---

You sneeze and wheeze with allergies

That bring the sufferer to his knees

While you’re there, sincerely pray

That Ragweed soon will go away

Just can’t take many more days like these

And ---

The antihistamines you take

Have side effects that can make

You drowsy all day

(Don’t drive that way)

Then all night long they keep you awake
