I stay inside
All Spring, you see.
I am allergic
As can be.
I need some tissues.
Grasses make me sneezy.
I need allergy meds.
Blossoms make me wheezy.
Stuck inside, avoiding pollen.
I stay as isolated as can be,
My hairy pets roll all around,
And bring my yard inside to me.
Author: Blind John Ellsworth
Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.)
