Flu Greetings

There once was a man with the flu
Shaking hands saying "How do you do?"
When next did we meet
My reply to his greet
Was a germ-ridden, spitting "Achoooo!!"

Thanks ... Wishing you happiness in the new year to come. I think I've entered it, if it went through on one of the members contests. Guess I need to make a notation on it. Not exactly sure how all these contests work.
