Tuesday Writings No.22-Ginger Plague

Prompts this week:Prickles, taste, hives

Ginger Plague

At Christmastide

The smell of ginger

Is in the air

I love the taste but it hates me

Ginger gives me

More than hives

My throat prickles

Making it hard to soon breathe

My epi-pen I’ll soon need

Thank goodness for modern science

When every corner I turn

There’s ginger cookies

Ginger drinks hot and cold

Ornaments and gingerbread houses

Displayed proudly you see

Avoidance is impossible
It seems.
