Little Snot Nose
Little boogers in my nose
dripping down into my toes.
Where they’ll stop no one knows.
Bubbly boogers in my nose.
Some think I’m snooty, but I’m not.
It’s just my nose is full of snot.
That’s why I keep it in the air,
So those boogers won’t fall there.
I cough and sneeze and fuss a lot.
Yet this is one thing it has taught.
When someone special cradles me,
those little boogers seem to flee.
They run and hide in caverns deep
when crusted eyelids close for sleep.
And when a dream comes twirling by,
I reach for it, and with a sigh,
I’m in a place where boogers see
that no one gets the best of me.

on a particularly snotty Christmas, 2001)
