Got Snot

yes

With the last cold I’d got, I got snot

It came running down from that spot

It is a thing that I wish I had not

But although fought, its what I got

 

A cold germ caused my honker to squirm

Into a hanky, blew this unwanted cold germ

With me determined to blow extra firm

For the extent of the cold’s complete term

 

I had to watch my schnauze didn’t bust

With social distancing becoming a must

And though bout it, I constantly cussed

I got over it, thankfully, but by just

I'm gathering you're one of these maniacal hanky types who blows & blows until he blows the house down, making sure every last booger is blown to smithereens. This poem addresses OCD, pure & simple, marked by your obsessive/compulsive tendency to pump out a steady stream of riotous life lessons that pretend to be poetry. I wonder if this affliction could be the leftover high from inhaling so much California pot smoke for some months there? ((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Appreciate your kind comments, even more when I get back up off the floor!!!
Somewhere, somehow, 'booger' deserves a complete poem of its very own

Lol, I never ever read a poem like this, like the topic but the fact that you make it funny and made it a fun read (which isn't the same thing) is amazing. I enjoyed this read. Tyfs

Ha, thanks go to a tissue dispensing company that had used 'that' word
My weird sense of humor saw a poetic possibility for it
You may eventually see that commercial down under but they probably use the underneath side of the tissue??

I have to say Dave I am responding, fully masked and from an ocean's distance. Don't wanna catch that cold of yours. You need a hot toddy to get rid of that. What an unsavoury word is snot :))) Get better real soon.

I heard 'that word' on a commercial last night and as unpleasant as it sounds, I thought it deserved a poetic (?) airing
Very common young male's expression
I would have to wonder about your ladylike upbringing if you had found it acceptable
Hope your weather is still holding
beginning to 'fall' apart here

[Chris Shaw]

Lovely here Dave. Looking across at the Brixham promenade. The Golden Hind, replica ship of Drake's, in sight. Hope your weather doesn't get too unsavoury. Poetic snot ha!!!!

[Dave Brown]

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about Drake and 'The Hind'
I would love to see it, I bet it is quite imposing
(:)

[Dave Brown]

I don't mean to impose and please do not respond if it is in any way an issue but if you happen to be walking by I wonder if you could get some 'paintable' shots
Absolutely zero pressure, just a thought

[Chris Shaw]

I'll have a go for ya :))
