That is,

Squeezing water from his eyes,
a dewdrop on his runny nose,
he freezes and sneezes:
a-snee, a-snee, a-snizzery.
Oh what Misery!

Snizzery: sneezing misery -
it's trouble with sneezes.
Too many sneezes always displeases.
Snizzery's the water-rat word
for the thing that's occurred:
the need for a hanky.
A-snee, a-snee, a-snizzery,
Oh what Misery!

From The Old Water Rat by Kirsi Kunnas, translation by Herbert Lomas.

And won't someone make me hot tea with honey and bring me kleenex and tell me I don't need to go to the exam tomorrow and sing me a little song and tuck me in?

(In other news: Farscape last night. Mm. Is all.)
