hard to sneeze when...


i learned
recently...

it's hard to sneeze
with bread in your mouth.

possible
but hard.

i had already committed to eating a
hunky slice of bread...
let's just say
committed enough
that it was
no longer
an option
to remove it from my mouth...

that's when it
became apparent...
a sneeze
was brewing
and about to explode.

but
i had bread
in my mouth.


i did my best to
situate the bread
on either side of my mouth
and i focused
praying the sneeze
would exit
with
ease.

it took some work.

i sneezed
and
did not lose

any of the bread.

but...

it's hard to sneeze
with bread in your mouth.

it's
something to ponder.

we need both:
a good sneeze
and a hunky slice of bread.

we need other such things
that are hard to
manage
at the very same time.

you probably
can make your
own list.

hmmmm

i think i'll go
eat another slice
of bread.
