To expel extraneous matter from the throat,
After eating said matter like an old billy goat,
Matter lodged beyond ones reach,
Making it oh so much easier then to make speech…
Post nasal drip, also a problem that causes cough,
Enough for me to get really ticked off,
Nasal sprays help to a degree,
I find it though a pain in the neck to cough till I have to pee…
Coughing can be quite loud & disrupting,
Even when we don’t want to be to anyone interrupting,
So please to bear with those that are coughing like they are choking,
We don’t do it to be to others provoking.

Delightfully serious in some places and delightfully funny in others. Accidentally breathing any liquid (wine is worst) down the windpipe is guaranteed to cause a coughing fit. But your lungs expel it in this necessary to prevent pneumonia.
My experience is that if I lay on my back to long, reflux will get me coughing. And, when I turn on my side, a good forced cough does wonders in relieving gas pressure. ;-)
