We all know the drill.

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 Copyright 2010 Patrick Granfors

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,

Cough, Cough... I got yer big snot bay right here buddy. Snif. My nose is so red, snif, I could play Rudolph without any makeup. Cough, snif. And sore!!! My o my, I'm tempted to just let it drip. Nice write, so real I could feel it. Now please write something really nice and peaceful or something soft and dreamy. Dick

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.
