Ah those people you gotta love and hate them. They are sick and say they are okay because they don't let a cold stop them from enjoying family company which is admirable but also not a good idea for those who don't want to get sick. Great poem!

delightful!!

You put a smile on my face Milly. Hugs to you

This was a funny write and I can totally relate! Trying to stop a sneeze though makes me only sneeze harder. Oh I know how many of us during this holiday season are wary of any chance of germs and getting a cold.

It is not often that you find a poem nominated from the fun and humour section of the site. The reason is probably because we all avoid that part like the plague. Comedy is a difficult skill to master, what you may find funny may fall flat elsewhere. Milly has taken a simple subject and written a very funny piece. In fact, I would consider it a classic, I can easily see this being read out at elementary schools. worthy of an HM at least 4 points

Oh, I just hate 'those' people who sneeze into the air. It's just rude, unecessary and inconsiderate. Greater
You have made light of this sensitive topic, which is probably best. XX
