Congestion

If you cannot tell what is missing

I do not know what to tell you

I need vicks

I need a towel

I need a pot of steaming water

I need half a tablespoon of salt

Rub vicks above my lips area

Put a towel over my head

Place my head over the steaming salted water

In hale through the mouth and breath throw the nose

Repeat

After 5 minutes, I can breathe so much better.

( Between September and October it's my congestion season.

What fun, hard to stay sleeping for long because I have to keep

Blowing my nose. My method of getting rid of stuffy nose is the list poetry above. What's missing it is up to you to guess. Please share what you think was missing.)
