Sneezes and a monkey.

We can cough, burp and even choke but no one pays as much attention to a person as they do when someone sneezes. Every time someone sneezes, it is unfailingly followed by the words” Bless you”. This tradition, originating in Greece, started with the Romans who actually said, “May Jupiter preserve you”. Not till one of the plague epidemics do the words change to “bless you”. This was so because sneezing was a very common symptom of the plague so receiving the words “bless you” was a hope of good health.

            One might ask why sneezes happen to begin with. Sneezes are a result of inhaling of smelling an irritating substance. But interesting enough, emotions cans also induce a sneeze. Bright sunlight can make a person sneeze as well. This happens because the eye nerves are very close the nerve in the nose which causes sneezing. Sneezing is mostly used by the body to remove an unwanted substance in a fluid in which air is rapidly expelled.

There was this red monkey

He liked salsa real chunky

He swung on the vines

To avoid deadly mines

But then fell on one because he was fat.

So don’t eat salsa chunky like that.
