At the Wal-Mart

I was at the local Wal-mart

Where someone sneezed, along with a fart.

At first I was stunned.

Then, I started to run,

and stumbled over my cart.


I knew the germs were in the air,

and that I was getting my fair share.

So, I accepted my fate,

to sit grimly and wait,

armed with chicken soup and a prayer.

Who knows who you may encounter at Wal-Mart these days. This is a good humorous double limerick.

Thank you! I removed it from the contest because it's 2 limericks instead of one.
