I love spring.
There’s no denying that spring has arrived and decided to stick around. The sun is warm and bright. The days are longer. The birds are chirping away. The frogs are frolicking in every creek and pond. The bees are buzzing about. Even the air itself has a little something magical going on. And I know exactly what it is too.
It’s pollen.
Once again every tree, weed and herb in Virginia has successfully pollinated me whether I wanted to be or not. Somebody needs to say it and it might as well be me, but I think unwanted pollination should be illegal unless it’s consensual. And if you are one of those weirdos who actually enjoys being pollinated I certainly won’t judge you. But most of us don’t want to be powdered with pollen and I can assure you that I certainly don’t. Our fine state representatives could make themselves useful for once and pass some legislation outlawing unwanted pollination as it’s one of the very few things we all can agree on. If they don’t do it then I’m going to run for office and I’ll do it myself! And artists need someone like me to represent them in Richmond anyway.
Somebody bless me please! I feel a sneeze coming on.
