Ah-Choo

Sometimes, as you shoot the breeze,
You’ll be startled by a sneeze.
Even walking up the stairs,
It can catch you unawares.

With no allergies or colds,
Sneezing often still unfolds.
It may happen for no reason;
Some lay blame upon the season.

Sneezes serve to help remind us
That the forces which designed us
Left some mysteries to tease,
One of which must be the sneeze.

You've got to love a hearty sneeze. As children we used to sniff pepper off our hands for a good sneezing bout. Nice, light poetry, Ilene. :)
