                Whilst Mummy’s nose is small and neat

                  Dad’s nose is long and lanky

                And I have to say the room vibrates

                  When he blows in his hanky.

                 

                When Daddy sneezes it’s much worse

                  For he really rocks the rafters

                But now we know what to expect

                  We fall about with laughter.

                 

                We took Dad to a restaurant once

                  He embarrased us, no doubt -

                He sneezed the peas quite off the plates

                  And the staff then threw us out.

                 

                He went to The Grand National too -

                  Where posh hats were displayed -

                But Dad gave one gigantic sneeze

                  And he sneezed them all away.

                 

                We feel we don’t know what to do

                  With Daddy’s sneezing habit –

                Mum says we should dump poor Dad

                  And instead we’ll buy a rabbit.
