My attempt at a rondel supreme:
Allergies, oh me!
Yes me, I have allergies!
Who can be allergic to cats?
Or how can it be beef or trees?
I am gluten sensitive, and to wool hats!
~
Why couldn’t it be sugar calories?
I can understand bats!
Yes me, I have allergies!
Who can be allergic to cats?
~
I don’t like apologies.
I would be okay with an allergy to rats!
Could I be allergic to bees or fats?
I know I have lethargies.
Yes me, I have allergies!
Who can be allergic to cats?
