Really Runny Nose

Runny oh runny, really runny nose
Right now I must say our relationship blows.

You're always out running while I sit at home
And all I can do is sniff, sneeze, and moan.

And just when I think we've parted for sure
You come running back, a surprise at my door.

And if only I did have such a choice
I'd kick you out on your butt and then sing in rejoice

But instead you stay, and run on and on
You'd think you're training for a marathon!

And those sniffles, nasty sniffles, they drive me insane!
Really runny nose, you only cause me pain.

But with that, there's still nothing I can do
Other than to pop some pills and to wait it through.

But when that day comes and you stop and leave me
I won't miss you one bit and I'll laugh with much glee

And though right then I'll be booger free
...I'll be on my toes for when you come back ...running.
