Cold

Today all I hear is coughing
Hacking and sniffling 
Disgusting disease
That might catch me
Interrupting conversations
Cough hack sniffle
So annoying
Grab a tissue!

opinion

EU is a massive spider
Kills initiatives
A headless bureaucracy  
Casts a web 
Of rules and regulation 
Sniffling
Freedom of expression 
Killing Europe 
By strangulation

Winter's Here

Season's a changing Winter's a coming
Noses are sniffling Heaters arriving
People feeling cold and clammy
Donning thick new jammies
Oh no more natural warmth for a term
Just woolly coats and the flu germ!!

Mile High Consequences

She spots a sniffling hottie by her gate 
They learn their flight will be three hours late
After a few rounds at the pub
They board and join the Mile High Club
Then the poor dame sneezed for a whole week straight

Premium Member Sounds of Spring

Spring calls with lilting voices Breezes blowing through the trees, Birds sing in chirping choices Allergies produce a sniffling sneeze.

The Mayfly

Our first kiss was a deathless Mayfly.

Ten years onward, we sit
in a Doctor's waiting room
as sniffling strangers.
She smells of baby-puke.

Sometime later,
she tries to sell me a cellphone
in Radio Shack
(still no recognition).

Sadly Radio Shack,
like long forgotten kisses,
is now a dead Mayfly.

Strangers

Our first kiss
was a deathless Mayfly.

Ten years onward, we sit
in a Doctor's waiting room
as sniffling strangers.
She smells of baby-puke.

Sometime later,
she tries to sell me a cellphone
in Radio Shack
(still no recognition).

Sadly Radio Shack,
like long forgotten kisses,
it is now a dead Mayfly.

Teddy Bear

A teddy bear is soft and snuggly,
it makes you feel nice and cuddly,
it keeps you warm and makes you feel safe from harm,
it gives you sweet dreams and lovely memories.

It makes you light up when you feel down,
it makes your frown turn upside down,
so next time you need some uplifting,
just remember , teddy doesn't mind the sniffling.

Game Face

A quiet day at the office with
too much timr to think.
Electronic distractions are not enough today.

But don't break character in your cubicle...
Put on your game face and look busy.

Big smile
Eyes do not well up. Nothing worse than runny mascara.
No sniffling allowed
Or heavy sighs

Wishing  for a managerial  disaster.

Not for the overtime in the paycheck, 
But for the undertime at home

Imposters I say smiling Cheshire cats
Pranksters of evil swindling wall rats
Sneaking and sniffling without any shame
Heretics of judgmental disdain
Throwing blocks between love creating hate
Jealous seekers they are born at hell’s’ gate
Horns on their heads hooves on their feet
Smell worse than pigs no good to eat
Don’t let them close these creatures of pain
They’ll trick You and use you for their own gain.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

the parking lot of a CVS
two minutes from your house
the backseat of a four door sedan

your sister starts to shake against the door
heaving, sniffling sobs
her breath fogs against the glass
exhale exhale exhale

we should go home he says eventually
the girls are upset
you have never seen him cry before

in bed you pull the sheet over your head
and smear tears across the backs of your hands

the phone screen is too bright
2-5 years the internet says
there is no cure
