Form: Vertical Monocrostic
There once was a woman named Hazel
Her speech was muffled and nasal
She needed to blow
In her handkerchief so
We could give Hazel appraisal
Us humans
The dumbest and most genial creatures on Earth
Having eaten from the forbidden tree of knowledge
I could quite easily write a work of genius
Or likewise perform the dumbest act of all
Yes - I could sit here and imagine that
I could do both in fact
Already enacted one super successfully
The other there is still to do
But lifes a *****
I am not saying which
The knowledge hangs there in mid air
Like nasal fluid urgently needing to reverse so...
( sniff)
The first sight
of the first white hair
in my nostril,
at first jolting,
after a while, softly sobering,
happily humbling!
