Elvis

My scrub sponge,
today,
had another asthma attack.

Poor Elvis -
his third time this Spring.

He has pollen allergies also,
from the chamomiles
and chrysanthemums
blossoming on my terrace.  

So I went to the pharmacy
and bought him
a bottle of Flonase,
albuterol,
and a stuffed animal.

For baby?
The cashier asked.
I said,
Yes, for baby.
