get this booger out of here.

For Momzilla, and her inspirations ...

I felt it
scraping,
oozing,
irritating,
falsely
accumulating ...

I picked at it
delicately,
at first,
thinking it
would,
just go away ...

soul empty,
it needed
a new
receptacle,
and for a time,
I was it.

but it
festered,
and grew,
green and
infected,
and I knew ...

it was time
to just
get that
booger
out of here,
and flush ...

Author's Note

╰☆╮I just have to fangirl at the song you chose to put with this. I've been a bit obsessed with that song for years.

I knew I would like this poem as soon as I saw the title. This gets the point across while being funny at the same time.╰☆╮

[Lyn Anderson]

I love that song too. And yeah, the booger left, but there are some dregs behind.

[MomzillaNC]

Well… yuck! Where's my kleenex! And a match! Get that booger out and burn the tissue!

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes exactly thanks

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome.

[Pryde Foltz]

LOL … who can resist a poem about a booger. Still laughing.

[Lyn Anderson]

Good. I am glad.

[Madalyn Beck]

Hahaha! Ok, you made my nose get a little irritated while reading this. I actually felt like something was lodged up in there! Heck, maybe something is.... Great job, KL! Truly enjoyable! I'm still smiling from this. xo :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Apparently the main booger is gone but I am pretty sure it left some residual hangers on

[Madalyn Beck]

Hahaha! Don't they always. Not just the snotty ones either. :P

[R Smith]

get a great big handkerchief and blow him....er I mean it away, failing that stick olbas oil up your nose or wherever he.....er it is :)

[Lyn Anderson]

olbas oil? Hmmm. Never heard of it.

[R Smith]

good for treating blocked nose, its not used in Vain!

[Rob Santana]

Are boogers still salty??? If someone is bothering you just flick your boogers at them KL. they'll get the hint. At least I'd hope so.

[Lyn Anderson]

this one is a bit slow on the uptake I am afraid.

[Vidya Bacchus]

That's one persistant booger cat. One hopes he would have gotten the message by now.You are gross by the way lol

[Lyn Anderson]

I know. Momzilla wrote this beautiful one about stealing souls, I come up with boogers:)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hahaha "to each his own" true words there :)

[willweb]

It snot what you think. You can pick and blow, but it seems these things always come back eventually. This was great KLGoode.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Momzilla's poem was profound, mine was just gross ...

[Matching Socks]

If I posted that tumbler link in my status would that be considered harassment?

[Lyn Anderson]

I do not believe so. The name of the offender is not contained within the link. At this point, if someone is to be strung up for harassment, it would be me. And if I am kicked out because of trying to oust a plagiarist, I have a few friends in here, I think.

[Matching Socks]

Awesome! I'm doing it.

[Rene Salinas]

Lovely this !

The fact is that when the body encounters something foreign , it fights it! When an enemy invades another country they go to war. When two fighters are ready to fight they get inside a cage and made the best win. And so it continues . When someone that has no quality pretends and needs to lie,steal , manipulate so on so forth well same logic applies.

Time to kick it!

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

thank you, my friend, for taking the leap and letting your curiosity guide you.
