Florist Self Obs (F)

[SneezySal]

This happened to me today, completey unexpectedly. I'm not really allergic to anything, or so I thought.

(I apologise to Mr. Wordsworth for the style).

I wandered lonely through the crowd

And thought it time to make a stop

To by a gift, since time allowed

So entered I a florist's shop

I chose some lilies, on a hunch

They'd make my friend forget her ills

When all at once I spied a bunch,

A host of golden daffodils

And as the lily bunch was wrapp'd

I neared the daffodils as if

drawn somehow, and it happ'd

I leaned right in to take a sniff

So near was I, I couldn't fail

To draw in their perfume so strong

And as their scent I did inhale

That's when everything went wrong

ACHOOO! I cried, ere I could stop

My hanky flew up to my nose

I glanced, embarrassed 'round the shop.

As inside the next sneeze arose

ACHOO! ACHOO! I sneezed twice more

Whatever could the matter be?

This ne'er happened to me before

Daffodils don't bother me

Ah..AH...AHCHOO! I sneezed again

As my hanky did I clutch

To hold them back I tried in vain

The urge to sneeze was just too much

Five sneezes more, ere they did stop

I paid the florist in a rush

To finish with the flower shop

Lest the girl should see my blush

And once my friend forgot her blues

I sauntered home beneath the stars

And thought betimes, "My flat could use

Some yellow flowers in a vase."

Love this! What a great idea to spice up some obs

I logged in entirely to comment upon this post. XD Thank you, this was wonderful! You managed to give an obs, spice it up with a new style, and the format kept all the thrill intact. Brava, encore!

This is adorable, bless you.

Wordsworth would be pleased I believe.

[PollenFiend]

Bless you! Poetry sneezes - never would have imagined such a thing but that was wonderful! So allergic, and yet so artistic. Thank you!

Brilliant! Fabbo poem and fabbo sneezes. I was waiting for the last line..."and sneezes with the daffodils."

[Pilgrim]

This obs is cool and you are a cool person ^.^

[SneezySal]

Thank you. Everyone on this forum is so nice. I just blushed again.

[Sneeze999]

Great ob's! Wonderful way of writing it too! I hope you find those yellow flowers for your flat haha

[Heavy-Chevy]

This is such an interesting way to write obs! Very poetic and clever, great job and thanks for sharing.

[Honkytonklagoon]

Classy. Yours was probably the first obs to contain the word ere.
