I thought it only fair to publish some of my doggerel from Barbara's point of view, so after my blog on Sequoia I also put this one out. The experience was uncanny, as we drove down the mountain and into the city of Fresno, I could hear her head clear.
I love to see these giant trees
If only for a day.
They aggravate my allergies
And so I cannot stay.
The storm brought heavy thunder
The rain came steady down.
The clouds of moist congestion
Brought pain and forced a frown.
For though the sun is shining
And skies are clear and blue,
The raging tumult in my head
Drones on without a clue.
Some day the clouds will dissipate.
Some day the rain will stop.
But now my nose precipitates.
My head swears it will pop.
Fresno is so flat and hot!
Who’d ever choose this place?
But wait, my sinuses unstop.
A painless smile now forms my face.
That world is worth a photograph
A periodic visit to revel,
But I was made to live and laugh
In cities at sea level.
