The symptoms are deleterious <br />Not something to sneeze about <br />A condition sneeze-ingly serious <br />As the season’s ragweed sprout <br /> <br />When pollen invades the nasal <br />It causes sensations galore <br />The doc’s most common appraisal <br />“Hay fever, we shouldn’t ignore” <br /> <br />Linked to a watery rhinitis <br />With outpourings of ocean dimension <br />Or a fiery sinusitis <br />Inflaming unwanted attention <br /> <br />Though crazed as the maddest mad-hatter <br />We victims sneeze and live through it <br />Not given much choice in the matter <br />We tearfully blow and achoo-it<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-to-sneeze-about/
