Not Winking At You Poem by Philip Carter

If you see me coming along
And I appear to wink
Though you may be attractive
It is not what you may think
If we met any other day
You assumption would be right
But today I have a problem that's
Playing havoc with my sight
I have conjunctivitis
And have put ointment in my eye
It makes my tear ducts water
So it feels like I will cry
I am keeping my eyelid closed
To stop any dust from getting in
It would cause my eye to itch
And my tolerance level is thin
So if you see my eye twitch
And it may look like a wink
Please don't be disappointed
If I tell you it's just a blink.
