FALL? COUNT ME IN!

Bless me, I’m sneezin’
in this season I wheeze in.
Ragweed’s the reason

I’ve a runny nose
and I’m itchy, eyes to toes.
That’s the way it goes

when leaves are fallin’
and we’re crawlin’ in pollen.
Yet still, I’m all in

for chill in the air
and football (armchair) and fall’s
bright, color-rich flair!
