Kallie's Stubborn Sneeze (con't)
by Arden Davidson (C) 1998
"I'll have that sneeze out
in no time, I swear.
'Cause a friend smart as me
is terribly rare."
"Now where is that feather?
Here it is! What a beaut!
This feather will surely
relieve your stuck snoot."
Pritzy jiggled the feather
below Kallie's snout,
saying "goo, gootchie goo,
c'mon sneeze, come out!"
But the feather created
a terrible tickle
which made Kallie wiggle
and wriggle and giggle.
"Stop that! Stop laughing!", Pritzy said,
"or we're through.
You're not here to 'ha, ha',
you are here to 'achoo'!"
So Kallie stopped laughing
but burst into tears, crying
"What if this sneeze
is stuck here for years?"
Then she left Pritzy's house
to search for a friend
who could make all her troubles
come to an end.
