Fits and Sneezes

Early in the morning when the sun comes up,
I spring out of bed, and I feed my pup.
I open the window for an early breeze,
And out of my nose shoots a massive sneeze.

I close the window and cross to the door,
And on my way over, shoot a dozen more.
I grab a few tissues, and I blow away.
I don’t know why; this happens every day.

For the rest of the day, my nose stays dry
To my relief, so I’ve never asked why.
Fall, Winter, Summer, and Spring,
Once a day, my nose does its thing.

Some start their day with coffees or teas.
I start my day with a cleansing sneeze.
Not from allergies whenever it pleases,
But once every day, with fits and sneezes.
