The Allergy Blues (poem)

Here I am feeling itchy,
Then I freak out mightily.
Now I am feeling bitchy,
and I'm out of sorts,
trying not scratch myself.
I know I suck at sports,
and that half mile run
just wasn't any fun.
You see, I nearly killed myself
trying to keep up
with everybody else.
All I got is the allergy blues

Oh, my hay fever is acting up!
My face feels itchy,
and my eyes are swollen shut.
Once again, I feel bitchy,
and I'm home sitting on my butt.
Just gimme the Benadryl
before I turn quite ill,
coughing and wheezing quite a bit.
I'm having another allergy fit!
All I got is the allergy blues

And then when all seems lost,
the diphenhydramine kicks in
and I feel drowsy, and ready
for sleep, but I aint sneezing.
My eyes don't water, and the itch
has gone away with that rash.
The next morning I feel so happy,
that I forget to take my pill.
So it all happens again.

Here I am feeling itchy,
Then I freak out mightily.
Now I am feeling bitchy,
and I'm out of sorts,
trying not scratch myself.
My face feels itchy,
and my eyes are swollen shut.
Once again, I feel bitchy,
and I'm home sitting on my butt.
All I got is the allergy blues

Just gimme the Benadryl
before I turn quite ill,
coughing and wheezing quite a bit.
I'm having another allergy fit!
And then when all seems lost,
the diphenhydramine kicks in
and I feel drowsy, and ready
for sleep, but I aint sneezing.
So it all happens again.

Here I am feeling itchy,
Then I freak out mightily.
Now I am feeling bitchy,
and I'm out of sorts,
trying not scratch myself.
My face feels itchy,
and my eyes are swollen shut.
Once again, I feel bitchy,
and I'm home sitting on my butt.
All I got is the allergy blues

Just gimme the Benadryl
before I turn quite ill,
coughing and wheezing quite a bit.
I'm having another allergy fit!
And then when all seems lost,
the diphenhydramine kicks in
and I feel drowsy, and ready
for sleep, but I aint sneezing.
All I got is the allergy blues
All I got is the allergy blues
All I got is the allergy blues
