Fifty plus years went by, without a hitch
Until last week, that son of a bitch gun
Old ivy, the poison of every man’s Eden
Roams, about my garden, with freedom
I must’ve pulled it, along with the dead
So, of course, it reared its ugly head
Made me itchy, scratch, scratch, scratch
Twas kind of dumb, as more did hatch
But, now, I’m on the mend, thank God
Think I’ll stay away, from that patch of sod

Oh no! Glad you’re on the mend, Dorinda! In my 50+ years, I’ve never encountered poison ivy. Here’s hoping I never do…

Oh I feel your itch, Dorinda! Poison ivy is the worst – I know it’s just a matter of time before I get it this summer. Glad yours is getting better!

I’ve never had it before!! I didn’t even know I had it LOL Had to ask my pharmacist. Pretty much over but still a couple of spots that are annoying. I hope you escape the wrath this year! 🙂
