It's the big Sneeze.

Coughs and snotty sneezes spread diseases    
so trap your mucky germs in handkerchiefs,  
or put your head in a bag if you please its  
gross for you but for us, a jolly wheeze.  
   
Sneezes travel at ten mile per hour  
and it's an ill wind which sneezes no good,  
so think of someone's Aaachoo germ shower  
as time to keep fit and run off like Gump.  
   
The ancients saw sneezes as gifts from gods  
like Penelope in the Odyssey,  
so we sneeze and folk say " bless you " it's odd    
it's more the gods are blessing you and me.
 
Speaking of which I can count my blessings  
To find in my land 'flu shots cost, nothings...
