I think that it’s fine you’re allergic to wheat
Or anything else you don’t want to eat.
Be allergic to things that are cooked in the South
Allergic to things you don’t want in your mouth.
Be allergic to broccoli if you must
Allergic to toys and allergic to lust.
(No, don’t be allergic to toys and to lust.)
Be allergic to dog and allergic to cat
Allergic to this and allergic to that.
Be allergic to bee stings
Allergic to these things:
Be allergic to daisies, pansies, and roses
Allergic to Greeks with big bulbous noses.
Be allergic to Mormon brimstone and snow
By all means allergic to Pokemon Go.
Be allergic to eggs and all things dairy
Allergic to guys with backs that are hairy.
Be allergic to pollen and Oregon grass
Allergic to Trump— a Big Bag of hot gas.
Be allergic to oats and barley and rye
Allergic to naming the stars in the sky.
Be allergic to fear and that voice in your head
Allergic to anything negative said.
Be allergic to your local FOX TV station
Allergic to never going on vacation.
Be allergic to fish and things caught in the sea

Just don’t be allergic to me.
