Just having recovered from a bout of congestion and laryngitis, I composed a rather noxious poem. Jeff dared me to post it and since I'm not willing to rise to the occasion for many of his dares, I've taken him up on this one. Enjoy:
An Ode to Snot
When mucus, thick as long-stewed jam,
Obstructs the passageways,
And clinging mulishly to cords
It coarsens lilts to brays--
Phlegm morphs the songbirds into crows
And debutantes to hags--
It mocks as sinuses it blocks
And uvulas it gags--
When loosened gruesome globules are
By Fortune forced aloft,
A mortifying greenish drip
May shame the one who coughed

I have to confess, I have not even read this post that I am commenting on. I jumped right to the comment button to say, "EXCUSE ME!!" When did you guys get a blog? It is so good to see your faces. I will be happy to stay updated and read ALL of your posts!
