As well as pollen grains this Christmas image features the festive fungal spores of Lophiostoma and Alternaria

Oh grass pollen, how you've lingered on
Through the warm days, until Christmas dawn
Your golden dust, it fills the air
A source of sneezes, and noses bare

But as the Christmas lights start to twinkle
We hope and pray, that soon you'll winkle
Away, and leave us in peace
To celebrate, this joyous feast

So let us sing, and dance, and cheer
For the end of grass pollen season, is finally near.
Merry Christmas, to all in Melbourne town
May your allergies, now finally drown
