Why Not

Poem Artwork

The world beats at my door
You need to get up and go outside!


Why?


 


Outside are Oak trees and Elm trees and Bermuda grass.


Outside are flowers with pollen that cause me to sneeze


Why?


 


The doc prescribes allergy pills and sprays for my nose


The allergy pills make me sleepy and sprays makes me dizzy


Why?


 


The weather changes, my eyes swell shut


My head hurts no relief in sight


Why?


 


I guess that is why doctors only practice medicine


They don’t have it right yet.


Why?


 


I don’t know why but can I get another head


One that doesn’t sneeze or have eyes that swell?


Why Not!

sorry to hear that the allergies are getting the best of you. Drink a table spoon of honey, one table spoon of apple cider vineger and one table spoon of lemen juice or one slice of real lemon in warm water every couple of hours will do wonders. Lady J

sneezes tickle the nose,
eyes begin watering
in earnest ...

O, how I know the feeling well. Battling a summer cold: they're the WORST, next to allergies. Bless you, and hope you feel better.

Excellent portrayal of your misery. :(

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Virolution by Frank Ryan

Our human genome is full of viruses similar to HIV-1. These have played an important role in human evolution and still play an important role in human embryology and day-to-day chemistry. Just how important are they to our evolution past and future?

Darwin's Blind Spot by Frank Ryan

The symbiotic pattern of evolution is everywhere and allows us a very different and fascinating window into the way symbiotic viruses work, since all viruses are symbiotic, including those involved in our human reproduction.

Virus X by Frank Ryan

Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus
