I dialed up a friend, one eve,
When my nose began to itch.
Just as I heard the other line ring,
My nostrils started to twitch.
The friend answered the phone
At the moment the explosion hit:
"Hello?" Achoo!! "Hello?" ACHOO!!!
I could not speak for a bit.
"You'll have to talk English", came the reply,
"I'm afraid I don't speak sneeze."
Of course that caused me to choke,
And sink down to my knees.
They said, "You are weird, but lovable."
(For that the Creator I can thank);
And a good laugh was had by all
Over my unintended prank.
