Aren't Allergies just the worse? They sneak up on you, then POW!!! You're knocked off your feet for the whole rest of the day. Now, a few years ago I did not have allergies, but then one sunny morning I was outside and I began to sneeze......one sneeze..........two sneeze...........and look, a third sneeze, all in quick succession. I felt my head begin to fill up with cotton and my eyes start to itch and water. And from that fateful moment on I have had bad, bad allergies.
It's just horrible, you feel like you should be curled up in bed, drinking a hot cup of coco with the rain pouring down outside. But Oh no!! The sun is shining and the birds are welcoming spring, and the wind is blowing gently carrying those hateful balls of pollen right into your open window. And you are trying to see through the tears and sneezing while trying to watch your World History teacher tell you that it was in fact not James I but Charles II who caused a civil war in England. But can you retain all this while sneezing up a mini storm and trying to wipe away the allergy induced tears running down your face? No.
One day I was sitting in church listening attentively to my Pastor preach when I suddenly....can you guess? Yes, I sneezed, and then I sneezed again. So now I had tears running down my face, and my eyes where beat red, it looked like I was having a bit of an aneurysm. And it also looked like what my Pastor was preaching on making me cry in guilt, only what he was preaching about at the time was more of a study. Not something that would make me cry, and for some reason I felt so embarrassed, like I was bawling my eyes out in public.
Breeze on by me
And I sneeze

Right outside my window is this one tree that blows wispy, swarm-like clouds of pollen through the air. Our car is covered in a layer of the yellow stuff; it looks almost as if it is wearing a blanket...........
Clouds of Yellow
Thick and fat
Breeze on by me
And I sneeze
