The Sneaky Sneeze Woes

The Sneaky Sneeze Woes

 

Uh oh… I feel it coming…

The tickling in my nose.

A warning that it’s inches away

And about to explode!

 

It comes in times worst.

No tissue in sight,

I try to cover,

But clearly, it doesn’t hide.

 

The pressure builds,

Yet, it refuses to escape.

It never comes when I’m ready,

For goodness sake!

 

When I have a tissue

And prepared, nothing comes.

Just a tickle or an itch

Begging to be scratched, to come undone.

 

The most calculating of sneezes

Are the ones which threatens in worst times.

It comes at dinnertime and tickles my nose

Just after taking a bite!

 

A battle then ensues…

Will I be able to control my nose?

Or will I succumb to

The sneaky sneeze woes!?!

It is November. Flu sea is coming dear Melinda. I duck people. I don't need to get sick. Hello from Michigan and I hope you are doing well and having some fun.
