Hi-Choo
Early spring in Corinth and I’m bathing in a pollen shower as fuzzy green seedlings are whisked here and there in the blustery March breeze, I sneeze!!
Remnants of last night’s thunderstorm cruse across the pale blue canvas of the afternoon sky as pine cones fluttering in the breeze make me sneeze, I sneeze, I I I I sneeze!!
Even the old crape Myrtle, pronounced deceased years ago, is budding and basking in the evening glow, her babies preparing to become leaves, and I sneeze sneeze sneeze , I sneeze, I sneeze
As you can see
Pollen damn near
Got the best of me
But let me catch
my breath
and finish my soliloquy
Old Magnolia, washed in Nature’s seasonal offering, regain their forest green state, after a brief bloom, branches swaying with ease and I sneeze sneeze sneeze I sneeze I I sneeze I sneeze
Wew!! Hi Choo!!
Coughing or sneezing simultaneously seems to lead to a slight unexpected tinkle at the wrong time and place
honey and lemon
in tea, and one goodbye sneeze,
perfect concoction
This thick mucous essentially
the defense mechanism of a healthy
body electric to restore biz zee nose
as usual, which for this mild mannered
liberal leitmotif from the chronicle of one
matted nattering nabob of nativity attests
congested mob functioning like
a well lubricated machine, yet
for the life of me, nary a handy dandy
blues clues evident as per, how
the human entity empowered
to steamroll over
any reasonably annoying bugaboo.
Ah, now if only a similar innate
defense mechanism arose
within the mental health,
that would be a supreme testament
to thine atheistic tasty mints of miracles
minus the attendant pharmacopeia
of this, that or some other drug to aright
skewered psyche (of this contemplative,
emotive and intuitive literate outlier),
whose sixty two plus eight shades
of gray matter went awry and skewed
toward tipping point (to cope with ordinary
cares and concerns of an uncertain
whirled wide web) found the bulk
of his life riddled with a joe king,
gun slinging tub back ha chew win,
bard **** wordsmith,
who doth newt like to utter any
cryptographic crossword.
Be sure to say “bless you” when someone sneezes
Their heart stops for an instant, their body freezes
Don't ask what's 2 + 2
Can't answer... achooooo!
They'll come back to their sense once their eruption eases
If you sneeze and get snot on a bystander
Should you pretend it landed on the planter
Maybe act like it wasn't you
As it landed on their shoe
Carry on engaging in a topic of candor
Be sure to say “bless you” when someone sneezes
Their heart stops for an instant, their body freezes
Don't ask what's 2 plus 2
Can't answer... achooooo!
They'll come back to their sense once their eruption eases
D'ya know what the most dangerous human act can be
It's sneezing with diarrhea, must be apparent to thee
Explosive and bloody dangerous
Can leave you quite stressed
Stumble around looking stunned, totally unable to see
Be sure to say “bless you” when someone sneezes
Their heart stops for an instant, their body freezes
Don't ask what's 2 plus 2
Can't answer... achooooo!
They'll come back to their sense once their eruption eases
man....ah talk too much...
ah talk too much...much too much...
yes...ah talk too much...
what...does it all mean...
noise of a talking machine...
no...it does not mean...
anything...at all...
just statistical babble...
of...fractal rabble...
some old analog...
parallel thinking in time...

Dragon
With virus
He sneezed and sneezed
So hard one day; burned up
A wall!
D'ya know what one of the most dangerous acts can be
It's sneezing with diarrhea, must be apparent to thee
Explosive and bloody dangerous
Can leave you quite stressed
Stumble around looking stunned, unable to see
This girl it seems has a very strange condition
When she sneezes, she has quite a violent ******
Now sniffing pepper
Hoping it'll get better
Methinks she'll refuse relief that's my suspicion
I remember now
This odd strange endow
Only I know how
Watch cold bug strike me
Weak knees and dizzy
Just like my mummy
Awkward and funny
Focus feels fluffy
Weary feet dreary
Wet nose leaks a tap
I drop for a nap
Squeeze my leaking trap
See my hankies wet
Flu floods tit-for-tat
Feel that oozing set
My late mother knows
Snorting nose I blow
Flu gains plenty flow
Flu frets funny bow
Wet promptings know-how
I remember now
Sneezing sounds galore
Sneezing even more
Sneezing till I'm sore

Yawning and sneezing a common,
At all men and women,
Yawning a devil,coming from Satan,
Take care,
Sneezing divined,
Praise God then and there!
