    Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger,
    Sneeze on Tuesday, you will kiss a stranger,
    Sneeze on Wednesday sneeze for a letter,
    Sneeze on Thursday, for something better,
    Sneeze on Friday, sneeze for sorrow.
    Sneeze on Saturday, money to borrow,
    Sneeze on Sunday, safety seek for the Devil will have you for the rest of week.
