Munday on Monday: Sneezing spell

A pesky irritation grows

From somewhere back behind the nose,

Emerging as a sneeze; but then

One sneeze is not enough, for when

The sneeze will come (as you can tell)

It brings a lot of friends as well.

The sneezing starts a noisy chain

Like boxcars on a lengthy train.

A sneezing fit indeed appears;

You’ll sneeze until the sinus clears.

A factor that we ought to mention:

How sneezes surely like attention.
