| | | WHAT a moment, what a doubt! | |
| All my nose is inside out,— | |
| All my thrilling, tickling caustic, | |
| Pyramid rhinocerostic, | |
| Wants to sneeze and cannot do it! | 5 |
| How it yearns me, thrills me, stings me, | |
| How with rapturous torment wrings me! | |
| Now says, “Sneeze, you fool,—get through it.” | |
| Shee—shee—oh! ’t is most del-ishi— | |
| Ishi—ishi—most del-ishi! | 10 |
| (Hang it, I shall sneeze till spring!) | |
| Snuff is a delicious thing. | | | | |
