Gesundheit!

by Jon-Jacob F Deal

Medieval customs of bygone ages
Muddled musings of crackpot sages
Then, in ignorance, they used to say,
"To sneeze, to breathe and blow your soul away."
But the real way to consign oneself to Hell
Is a method that I know too well
To break the heart is to break the whole
I scream, and the Devil takes his toll
And all the "Bless you"s you have breath to say
Can't save the soul I shriek away
To break the heart is the break the whole--
And now the Devil takes his toll.
