Sneezles

Sneezles
By A. A. Milne

Christopher Robin
 Had wheezles
 And sneezles,
 They bundled him
 Into
 His bed.
 They gave him what goes
 With a cold in the nose,
 And some more for a cold
 In the head.
 They wondered
 If wheezles
 Could turn
 Into measles,
 If sneezles
 Would turn
 Into mumps;
 They examined his chest
 For a rash,
 And the rest
 Of his body for swellings and lumps.
 They sent for some doctors
 In sneezles
 And wheezles
 To tell them what ought
 To be done.
 All sorts and conditions
 Of famous physicians
 Came hurrying round
 At a run.
 They all made a note
 Of the state of his throat,
 They asked if he suffered from thirst;
 They asked if the sneezles
 Came after the wheezles,
 Or if the first sneezle
 Came first.
 They said, "If you teazle
 A sneezle
 Or wheezle,
 A measle
 May easily grow.
 But humour or pleazle
 The wheezle
 Or sneezle,
 The measle
 Will certainly go."
 They expounded the reazles
 For sneezles
 And wheezles,
 The manner of measles
 When new.
 They said "If he freezles
 In draughts and in breezles,
 Then PHTHEEZLES
 May even ensue."

 Christopher Robin
 Got up in the morning,
 The sneezles had vanished away.
 And the look in his eye
 Seemed to say to the sky,
 "Now, how to amuse them to-day?"
