Summer Cold?

Allergies again today seem to be giving me a fright,

My nose is itchy, my throat is sore, and I can’t stop sneezing,

What the hell else is in store, fortunately I am not freezing,

Only three things wrong instead of four…

Yesterday, got stung by a bee, but they don’t necessarily bother me,

At least never before, but this is twenty four hours later and then some,

Should have gone swimming today, had the chance, the ocean a sauna,

The beach a frying pan, one or the other, I would have felt better…

The ocean has properties to heal the common cold and other maladies,

Maybe this recent problem is an air conditioner mold,

That I have failed in my cleaning in recent days to totally control,

So if you don’t have any symptoms now, give it time, grows does it, the mold…
