Something To Sneeze At
Such a strange phenomenon the sneeze;
a tickling in the nose that likes to tease.
But sneezes in succession cause unease,
especially accompanying a wheeze.
Just think of someone swung from a trapeze,
reaching for two arms, and assaulted by a sneeze!
At eighty miles an hour when we sneeze (Jeeeez),
viruses escape into the breeze!
So if one day a winter's cold should seize
possession of the chest 'neath your chemise -
when I visit, keep a hanky handy, please,
and I shall say "God bless you," should you sneeze!
