As my nose twitched,
before the coming sneeze,
time froze, anticipation heightened,
awaiting its inevitable release.
I surfed the bardo,
my thoughtless attention animated,
wherein fulcrum of tremors,
could not be located.
The tumbler did fall,
when I least expected;
I covered my face,
that others be protected.
As for the act,
expelling saliva and air,
it’s a learnt art,
I perform with flair.

snippy snappy sneezy snarly snail
met Melton Mickey, a piece of mail
preening privately in potter’s pail
saying Selena’s son Shawn should shortly sail
allowing alloys, alligators and aliens ale
believing beyond bunker boy’s blueblood bale
kicking kindhearted kiwi into kangaroo kale
amusing snippy snappy sneezy snarly snail

Winter slowly wakes with an ice-cold nose.
Spends much of its time sneezy winds it blows.
Spring’s wardrobe full of floral foulard feigns change.
Dresses then frolics in daydreams of blue-sky mountain range.
Summer stands tall at the peak of its height.
Glistening body, warm bright smile, and remains everyone’s delight.
Autumn, the forgotten child of the four seasons,
hides behind Summer, always runs to Winter, and envies Spring without reason.

Gone digital
begun/beginning
Networking with me-self
Can't find a full-stop
to stop
What yer looking at fish-face???
Yer know
since yesterday
I can't find me thumbs
falling feet first
in-ter sub-monkey skills
I need more,
more white widgets
and black toggles-
got the wobbles, a bit keyed-up
Mind knitting its own computer
flashes of clever clogs,
clumps of soft-drive
in me ear-holes
got no cookies cooking
just a blinking memory
Dot-dash-board doodling,
screening plasma for bugs
and sneezy-bits.
Me lights are ticking
think I'm thinking
Blimey, will you look at that!
I got a virtual nose to pick
feeling sick of it
even though
me lid is plastic

Sensor on a relay, really?
These Brand-New cars,
aren't very easy.
It's like playin Parcheesi,
with old fartin sneezy.
Yeah, these brand-new cars,
sure, aren't very easy.

His mother taught him to say, "Please"
Before eating Limburger cheese
Each beat of his heart
Propelled a cheese fart
He tried to hide behind a sneeze

Snow White's Christmas Gifts
When Snow White awoke on Christmas morning
Seven pairs of eyes looked on adoring
Seven gifts there were placed beneath the tree
Each one lovingly wrapped exquisitely.
The seven dwarfs dearly loved Snow White so
All felt that they wanted to let her know
Doc gave a book titled "Take care of self"
He'd been most concerned lately for her health.
Grumpy got his face painted on a mug
So with each sip taken her heart would tug
Happy gave selfies he'd took of himself
To help her feel joyful inside herself.
Sleepy bought her a pretty alarm clock
So when he nods off she'd give him a knock
One with a chime of a nursery rhyme
It seemed a grand idea at the time.
Bashful was shy so it was no surprise
He'd written a poem just for her eyes
Sneezy cant shop when the weathers breezy
So he'd made her a badge saying "Squeeze Me."
Last one of all was the gift from Dopey
She couldn't help but just love his baloney
Composure cracked with his card saying that
"Love you to the moon and all the way back.”
Bless 'em all!

As gypsy winds ensnare the inner child
with jasmine blossoms scenting up the air
and spring’s inspiring rebirth...nature’s wild
awakening, replenishing what’s bare.
Azalea smiles in colors, lilacs peak
while inner child is laughing, full of glee.
Each day a new discovery to seek
around the country edges growing free.
Yet dusty pollen layers budding leaves,
encoded sinuses respond in kind.
The beauty, allergies and Kleenex sleeves
for sneezes, teary eyes but hopeful mind.
So little pill from heaven do your stuff,
desensitize the pollen’s sneezy snuff.

The Flu
You are living a happy normal life,
It catches you without a clue,
While you come out of the swimming pool,
And then you sneeze you know you have flu.
It makes you fell sneezy and chilly,
It sticks to you like solid glue,
You never expect it to strike,
It comes like a bolt from the blue.
You go under blankets and cuddle your hot water bag,
You drink out of a bottle dreaded,
And only warm soup is what you eat,
No chicken neither fried nor breaded
You learn to hate this dismal day,
You wait for the day you get up and play,
At start it feels nice with all the pampering,
But it turns to dread when you realize you can’t go scampering.

Lucky day! Father McShane was on the altar.
I knelt in gratitude, in silent applause.
He said mass faster than the lead car in a drag race.
Hosts flew and before we knew it: “Ite, missa est.” *
The nine a.m. ritual was well worth it on Sundays with daddy.
Out of the mist of sneezy incense, enclosed in glass tabernacles
food for the soul of another kind awaited us at the Brewster bakery.
Father and daughter a spiritual team of confectionary communicants,
were in search of the one true doughnut, the absolute muffin.
My father kept us ever faithful.
*Go, the Mass is ended

Snow White and the 7 dwarfs
Are really not what they seem
So stay far away from them
Or they'll put you on their team
They're really one of them doom's day cults
And Snow White is their leader
They'll do what ever she tells them to
And I hope you never meet her
They do that cult like chanting
The one everybody knows
It's some kind of crazy singing
"Hi ho, Hi ho", you know how it goes
Even their names should tell you
That something's kinda creepy
Grumpy, Bashful, Dopey, Happy,
Sneezy, Doc and Sleepy
They stand out on the corner
And pass their leaflets out
Telling all who passes by
What they're all about
They'll offer you an apple
And you'll think they're being kind
But all it takes is just one bite
And then they'll control your mind
Don't say I didn't warn you
If you do what I have feared
You'll find yourself 3 feet tall
And sporting a tiny beard

Snuggle
Cuddly, sneezy, sleepy, tiring
Daughter of the seventies
Lover of chocolate, coca cola, and cheddar cheese
Who feels old, tired and useless
Who fears grey hair, wrinkles and flab
Who would like to see(but not likely in this life...)weight loss, peace and love, and regularity
Resident of Coolsville-USA
Bunny
I hope this made you all smile^u^
