Cough Sputter

COUGH!  SPUTTER!

           Jack be nimble    Jack be quick
          Tried to jump over a candlestick
                    He didn’t jump clear
                         It disappeared
                Now he’s spittin out wick

Call an ambulance! That Sasquatch hug was too much. Sending you a butterfly hug. Love, daver
