Achew! Achew!
What was once a social cue
For ‘bless you’
Has now become
An invite for death stares
How did we get here?
I am not so sure
But, please, dear one,
Don’t punish me
If I had known my Achew will scare you to death
I never would have welcomed
The unwanted guest
A-ch–ewyou look lovely today
How’s that for a conversation starter?

Great poem. So true. I completely understand and agree. I live in Japan where no one says anything when you sneeze. It’s just not customary here. It took me a long time to get used to it. Less than one percent of the population is Christian. I still say it to my Japanese students when they sneeze, though.

Oh goodie, it’s allergy season again
Haha. Glad you loved it Deb. Thank you for reading.
What an experience! Thank God you’re okay. There’s only so long one can hold in a cough/sneeze/etc. I too have been very mindful of any public display of sneezing, coughing, etc
It is well. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you many more blissful walk on the trails.

Hehe. Good to know you find it so. But really, I concur. While waiting in line, I had a fellow stand so close to me…completely disregarded the 6ft rule. So yes, hold on dearly to that mask.
Hopefully it gets better!
Thank you Karen for engaging.
