Hayfever haiku

Incredible pipes:
Fluticasone propionate,
Fifty micrograms.

I'd forgotten how good really, really clear breathing tubes felt.  Need to get back to using this stuff year-round, as it works for my dust / cats /  housekeeping allergies too.  Why did I ever stop?

Are you allergic to our cat as well?

I'm allergic to myself. :)

Do you have an extra syllable in line two?

I don't know how to pronounce "propionate" though, maybe it's pro-pun-ate, where I was reading it as pro-pie-on-ate or pro-pee-on-ate.

Go with "Pro-pine-ate" - I'm treating it like hymn-writers treat "Heaven" as "Hev-en" or "Hev'n" depending on how many syllables they need at the time.

Honest.

Git. :)
