Nervous Habits…

Picking at scabs, watching them bleed,

Blood tastes good, just what we need.

Using fingers to clean out the nose, yes stab,

Scratching and grabbing at the crotch, got crabs?

Playing with ear lobes, skin on neck, twiddling thumbs,

Playing with the self, for guys at least, till numb.

Biting fingernails till they almost bleed,

Knew a guy who could do the same to his toe nails, (ewww)

Better to pick up and eat raw snails.

So many nasty habits; but are they truly nasty, as long as they are done to ourselves?

Unless of course someone goes around picking others noses, or biting their toenails,

Then we need to draw the line, maybe locking this person behind the blinds…
