Achoo!

Happiness is contagious
But not like a flu
If you ever catch it
Here’s what you should do
You can laugh and laugh, but never say Achoo!
Enjoyment is spreadable
But not like a viral
I catch it, you catch it, and everyone too
Then we all laugh together, but never say Achoo!
Friendship is like a medicine
But not like a pill
If you’re ever down
Just take a dose of it
And you’ll start to laugh and laugh, but never say ACHOO!
