Aah … Aah … AAACHOOO!

Hanging around, quite jobless
Innocent, minding my own
Though awake, blissfully blank
Not fearing what was not known

First warning of what's to come:
A sensation small and strange
Felt somewhere deep up my nose
Well beyond my fingers’ range

Body reacts before brain
A tide of air is sucked in
All my might feels dammed up there
Can it somehow be held in?

But resistance is futile
With tremors like great earthquakes
And grander sound than thunder
The nostrils' hapless dam breaks

In a show of divine wrath
The rebellious denizens
Are cast out through the nostrils
For causing nasal nuisance

After the epic's climax
I lie dazed with shock and awe
Head as empty as my lungs
Few deep breaths I have to draw

Blimey! What a sneeze that was.
It's shaken me to the core
Uh oh, what is that I feel?
God save me. Here comes one more!
