We got the blues from the Poison Ivy itch. <br />And now all we want to do is snooze. <br />We just sit around and itch. <br />If I were a drinker I’d have a sip of strong booze. <br />We feel like we’re in a spell from a mean witch. <br />That planted Poison Ivy in our flowerbeds. <br />Now the rash is spread all over our arms and legs. <br />We just want to ditch the heavy threads. <br />The only relief we have is Benadryl. <br />This is an itch we would both like to ditch. <br />Believe me sipping on awful Benadryl is no thrill. <br />I told her that ivy could kill. <br />It’s done broke my will. <br />All we do is itch! <br />My daughter and I switch. <br />She scratches then, I scratch. <br />We’re quite the match. <br />We’re both covered in Calamine Lotion. <br />Cause we’re under and evil potion. <br />We’re both filled with strong emotion. <br />We had no notion. <br />We’d both get the poison ivy blues. <br />Now we’re so blue! <br />We got the Poison Ivy Blues!<br /><br />Patricia Kelley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-have-the-poison-ivy-blues/
