With Apologies To Longfellow

When I was in High School, I played with silly parodies of famous poems. Recently I ran across a group of these. Because this is the beginning of a new week, why not start it off with something light? Longfellow started a poem,
"I shot an arrow into the air
it fell to earth I know not where....."

Well, here is how it turned out for me:

With Apologies to Longfellow
By Larry R. Linville
(written when I was a teenager)

I sneezed a sneeze into the air.
It fell to earth -- I know not where.
A dirty look I got from those
In the direction in which I snose.
