An Ever Present Danger
A sneeze travels about 100 mph
40,000 droplets are ejected
Traveling almost eleven feet
Much further than expected
Wondering if that applies to farts
Heard they can be quite deadly
Blowing big holes in your undies
Emitting an odorous medley
Clocked at almost 10 feet per second
That's roughly about 7 miles per hour
Capable of setting fire to your curtains
Have wilted pretty flowers
People have been seriously injured
Not wearing protective gear
The recoil action can drive them
Into walls and objects near
Actually heard of this one poor chap
Who's not longer able to speak
The utterly intensive reverberation
Reduced his voice to a squeak
Well now don't say I didn't warn you
Bout this ever present danger
Take heed and do have a happy life
