Spreading… Joy

I’ve come up with a contest

A game that’s bright and new.

It’s something fairly simple

That anyone can do.

It must take place in winter

(It can’t be all year round)

Because it’s based on spreading

The common cold around!

Now when the idea struck me

At first, I thought I’d win.

But suddenly remembered

The trains and those within.

The passengers on buses

And elevators too.

The sneezers in your office,

And hallway coughers—Ew.

You see, the art of spreading

The flu both far and wide

Is something in which many

Have skills they just can’t hide.

I’m sure it will be lively

So join the contest please.

For now, though, please excuse me.

I need to go and sneeze.
