Freedom flings out the summer breezes
In a park where allergens make sneezes.
Men gather to toss their plastic frisbees,
Taking off from work for sick day freebies.

(Enjoying my lunch in a
Florida State roadside park)
I've been dealing with sniffles and snotty sneezes
But it's not Covid or other dreaded diseases
Feel a little stuffy
And my eyes are puffy
I need to get well so I can have hugs and squeezes
The good news is that I no longer have a fever
But don't exactly feel like being an eager beaver
Now I have some issues
I've used all the tissues
I should just cut off my nose with a meat cleaver
Sneezes
Those who live in the Hebrides’s
Sometimes suffer from the sneezes.
And this is because cold breezes
Blow directly off the seas’s.

There once was a young man from Calgary
Who suffered great from ragweed allergy
Eyes would itch
Nose would twitch
Sneezes could be heard clear to Germany
What do bugs reach for,
when they start to sneeze?
They use an outdoor tissue,
and blow their noses on the leaves.
One day while looking through
my super size spyglass,
I saw a little snail.
I think he must have had a cold,
because he left a sticky trail!
You will never, ever have to
give a tissue to a bug.
Because if one is in your house,
he'd rather use your mother's rug.
