Boogers To You
by M. Griswold
012700
There's all kinds of boogers that come from your snotz
Depending on the weather is the form that you gotz
Also the shape of a nose and the size of the hole
Makes a difference when extracting in part or in whole
Now if you look at it this way or that way you just gotta say
They are an irritation and create a blockage if they stay
Boogers are a nuisance that only get in the way
So ya gotta pluck'm out and flick'm away
There's little ones and soft ones but the big ones I dread
Those are the hefty ones that when pulled flatten your head
Then there's always those stringy boogers that intertwine
You feel their unraveling all the way through your mind
They stick to the hairs and are painful when plucked
Them dried pieces of snotz that are there to obstruct
Boogers itch your snout and sometimes hang about
Embarrassing you most when a friend points them out
Get rid of them all now, right this very moment
Before a friend makes some snide, rude comment
So, here's boogers to my friend in all the pick'n you do
And be sure to blow and wipe cleanly when you’re through
Mi: Does God eat his boogers?
Eu: No of course God doesn't eat his boogers.
Mi: But I thought God could do anything.
Eu: Well he could eat his boogers but he just wouldn't.
Mi: So he does have boogers.
Eu: I don't know, I don't think God has boogers.
Mi: God can have anything he wants.
Eu: I don't think he wants boogers.
Mi: I don't think we can understand the mind of God.
Eu: We can't.
Mi: Maybe god is a booger.
Eu: God's not a booger.
Mi: But if God is all things, he's an all-knowing booger.
Eu: Stop it.
Mi: He's a wrathful all-knowing booger.
Eu: I'm not talking to you anymore.
Limericks by definition are supposed to be funny
They can also be serious when your nose is runny
Annoying as hell
All over your lapel
Hard to be serious, boogers are quite unbecoming
There's even a hardened discard of foul colored mucous on the tip of my thumb.
Nail bitter, straw chewer—
Germ phobic Venetian blind side peep is a
Hippo sized discreet-ly…
Snorting lies after lies... Seize him!
—As our slave driven worker—
-Or-
May assassination’s will render ill-justice in its many justified forms'; instance…
In plain sight, we can see you.
On the news many faces represent the power that is you.
Yet to find the correct plan of action—
I, personally, have only myself; mind, body and soul.
And for the time being…
I’ve got fingers on my boogers

unibrow spotted
watching her attentively
so captivated
boogers so noticeable
so nasty, should I tell her?
*Carolyn's unibrow

Little Boogers
Even the little ones can tell something isn't right.
They stick their finger in their nose and move it left and right.
And when they find exactly, what they are looking for.
Do they put it in their mouth, or flick it to the floor?
