The Penknob Kid

PENKNOB: Is our household word that my kids euphemistically created of the two phrases that I purposely refrained its actual pronunciation by slurring PENKNOB: Phrase #1. Hands-Off/or don't touch; #2. Shut-Up/or be quiet. My youngest daughter would say that word when we're at the doctors. Tonal voiceration I've introduced to my family, whereby the harsh realities that preexist in common societiy can be adjusted through respectable levels of plain and common decency via communication.

Penknob, my sick self tired from those daily pokes,
Oh, Penknob, saddening -- tearing eye exposed,
Penknob girl strong inside mirror be screen smokes

as Penknob pairs a tearing o'er a snub-nosed,
the nurse in white and a tray of Penknob jokes,
Penknob done we smile I hurt a while, my clothes,
