A Tragic Sneeze

While listing by rank of those I must thank,
my brain with emotion agrees.
I remember the host, who helped me the most,
by nicely putting her guests at ease.

She did kind distract, each guest with her tact,
explaining away my tragic sneeze,
(which scattered three trays of spinach souffles
and sprayed each guest with splattered cheese.)

With words of quick choice, in self assured voice,
said, "I put too much pepper in these!"
I said I was sick and leaving so quick,
I barely heard their fading pleas;

"Too bad you must go, we'll miss you, we know.
just like dogs will miss their fleas!"
Our host did insist, "You're sure to be missed
at ALL of my dinners and teas!"
