Boogers

Kids like things that are gross, and a writers job is to push the boundaries.
My question to all readers is, did I cross a line here?

 BOOGERS

 

Boogers for breakfast.

Boogers for lunch.

Stick your finger up your nose,

Pick boogers by the bunch.

 

Boogers are deletictable,

Served fresh and hot.

You may think it’s gross,

But it’s snot.

 

Boogers are great,

They’ll brighten your mood.

So pick a booger today,

They’re a true finger food.

Yes, I do also find them to be DELECTABLE like kids, though my fingers are too big to go digging for them too deep, but if one loosens them up, then blows their nose, they come flying out in big chunks...-e-

I'm sure the kids will love it much more than sophisticated poets are us.

For some damn reason, those little boogers are beginning to bother me much more as I grow older. Am I returning to my childhood?

And, I have had the good misfortune of watching someone dig deeply to ferret those critters out. Like my mother always asked… "Cleaning out the dance hall?"

It's not just children that gross out in private. As always, clever, inventive and yes, unexpected. Why not. John
