Karen Anglesey Poet Rhyme

The Sneeze

Mrs. Snuffles' epic sneeze
Blew her ruffles to the knees
While blowing her nose, she tore her hose
Disturbing the neighbor's peace
The neighbor was so displeased
He lost his temper and shrieked,
"Please, Mrs. Snuffles pull up your ruffles
The wheezing and sneezing must cease
The obnoxious kerfuffle is simply abnormal
And you have frightened all of my geese!"

Just That Archaic Poet August 19, 2013 at 9:18 PM For some reason, this reminds me of Lewis Carroll, and Lord knows he was brilliant. This was funny and witty and oddly enough, I wish you would have used "kneeses" instead of just "knees" lol. This is a killer poem; absolutely loved it! Karen Anglesey August 19, 2013 at 10:46 PM Well, thank you very much... I wish I would have used kneeses also... I think I shall re-edit ..thanks !
