If you sneeze on Monday


Date: 2015-10-07; view: 471.


Sneeze.

You sneeze for danger,

Sneeze on Tuesday,

Kiss a stranger,

If you sneeze on Wednesday

You sneeze for a letter,

Sneeze on Thursday

Something better,

If you sneeze on Friday

You sneeze for sorrow

Sneeze on Saturday

Joy tomorrow.
