Munday on Monday: Something in my eye

Abruptly in my eye I felt

An object foreign, new;

A bit of airborne leaf, perhaps?

Or speck of dirt that blew?

The irritation clearly vexed;

I knew not what to think;

I walked around with one eye shut

As in eternal wink.

An eyelash of all things it was

That went astray — a lash!

The problem solved itself quite fast;

At last, that lash is past.
