Day 133: Allergies

Thanks again, to my number one muse, Carolyn, and her daughter, Sidney.

Allergies
By Batsheva 4/13/10

Julie's allergic
To juniper trees
Ben is allergic
To stinging bees

Cathy's allergic
To kitty cats
If one gets too close
She'll cry

Frank is allergic
To greasy fats
So he can't eat
A single french fry

Nancy's allergic
To most every nut
If she even smells one
Her eyes will swell shut
And that's really sad
'Cause it means her lunch table
Is far away
With a "Nut Allergies" label

Wendy is very allergic
To wheat
Which means that she doesn't
Have too much to eat

Paul is allergic
To Pennicillin
And he wears a bracelet
That says so
Vicki's allergic
To a thing called vanillin
Which means most desserts
Are a no-no

Shari's allergic to shellfish
Eddie's allergic to eggs
Larry's allergic to anything
With fur that has four legs

Bonnie's allergic to berries
Gary's allergic to grass
Charlie's allergic to cherries

I wish they could all take a pass

These allergies all seem
So very unfair
And they're something of which
Everyone should beware
For while you may not be
Allergic today
A new allergy can appear
Any day

So. . .
Though I'm not allergic
To any of these
You could say I'm allergic
To allergies
