Get Well Soon, verse # 2 (poison ivy)

Hope you get over the Poison Ivy soon…

It’s so pretty and green, those leaves of three,
who’d guess it could be such a pain,
just out for a walk and busy with talk
didn’t notice it there by the way,
guess it felt slighted, avoided, rejected,
and plans for revenge it did make,
now it got some attention, yes, it’s got it all now,
and attention it intends to retain,
with itching and scratching and blotchy reactions,
you’ve tried soaps and lotions and sprays,
this torture is harsh when you feel the remorse
for not noticing it there by the way,
but now you know better, next time you’ll take care
to notice it there as you pass,
just a friendly hello from far, far away,
that’s all this poor plant requests.
