Blame and Excuse

Yesterday i had to sneeze

so i looked for remedies.

My eyes watered and so i

squirted water in my eye.

It may be a cold i have got

and then again, maybe not.

Allergy, bad cold, or the flue

all cause drippy noses too.

Allergies are quickly cured

while colds have to be endured.

The flue is another thing.

I hope that’s not happening.

When i have to say, “Achoo”

perhaps i caught it from you.
