Here's what I've got: a bit of verse for a change.
Can pollen survive in zero gravity?
I'm kinda thinking not.
And so, to escape my allergies,
I'm going to be an astronaut.
No more pollen, no more spores--
no more uncontrollable sneezes.
I'm hitching a ride on a rocket
until the onslaught eases.
Of course I'll miss the flowers,
and seeing the verdure of spring,
but, oh, to have one day of peace,
I'd give up 'most ev'rything.
So good-bye earth, and mom, and dad,
good-bye warm sunny days.
I'm not sure when I'll be back,
but for now, I'm off and away.
I'm kinda thinking not.

It doesn't have the smoothest meter ever, but give me a break--my sinuses are killing me this weekend.

i like it...writing about our current state is such a gift of inspiration...i hope the sinus thing eases up!
I imagine anything would be out of this world if it means escaping sinus problems!
Interesting write!

I thought you might live in the south- here we don't get snow, but in march and April we get a nice yellow coating over everything -
Love the south hate the allergies!
Thanks for the comment, I also think that walking barefoot on grass is one of the cool pleasures of life.
It has, indeed, a very smooth meter. This poem is so funny and so true. I love the line "I'm kinda thinking not."
