A Tissue

A Tissue is a paper hanky, That isn't very strong. If you have a heavy cold, It will not last you long. One nose blow is all these hankies need, To become useless, And flutter in the breeze. Fluttering in the breeze, Causing ailments and disease. It is a mortal sin, Not to throw these hankies in the bin. ATISHOO!

They flutter in the breeze so fast and are lovely when they do also. Nice one.

This is a very beautiful rhyme, indeed, with a great moral which we used to say for the children but much needed for the adults today.
