We all know the drill.

Poem Artwork

The inventor of snot ought to be

Strung up high from the nearest tree

Left there to dangle for all to see

Like this nose gel dangling out of me

 

A full box of Kleenex is simply no match

For the mass production of my nasal hatch

About half the stuff they just don’t catch

My eyes sure itch but I don’t dare scratch

 

I tried to sleep but I have to say

It’s like being water boarded by the CIA

The S.S. Night Night is adrift today

Headed towards the shoals of Big Snot Bay

 

The waves are high and the rocks are green

Bilge pump is busted I’m no merchant marine

Caught in the vortex of a mucus machine

Working on Kleenex box – seventeen

 

Nyquil, Benadryl, I’m not impressed

I’m a walking, talking, medicine chest

All I really want to do is get some rest

Next stop, some rum, honey – and lemon zest

 

Heavy on the rum

Haven't heard or seen green snot since I was a kid. Go heavy on the rum in that lemonade and you'll be picking dry boogers in no time.

You so effectively share the miseries of a summer cold, Patrick. I used to get them now and then but fortunately, I cannot recall the last time. Thank you. I hope you get well soon. Love and peace,

Forget Mr. Ed, I need that rum more but not more than you it sounds...I have a friend who drinks some rock N rye, then lays in a hot tub of water for awhile then goes to bed with a couple of blankets and wakes feeling fine the next day, who knows it might work...e

I hear there's some mighty 'Good Fishin' in Big Snot Bay,
And I sure could use a nice big bottle of rum myself, today!

Very funny, though thoroughly recognizable words, my friend. Summer colds, or allergies can make life absolutely misrable. Sorry you're not well, Patrick.

This would make a great ad for Kleenex! giggle...not laughing at your misery, my friend, but at the hilarious way you told us about it. As a cronic sinusitis sufferer, I understand your plight! Hope you feel better soon....at least you haven't lost that precious sense of humour!

Oy, Patrick, how disgustingly true-to-life! Sometimes you just hafta wonder how the body produces so much of this unwelcome substance!
Still, in the right nose, it makes for a funny poem. Thanks for sharing your good humor, and I hope you dry up soon.
