Boogers, Nose Goblins & Snot --Oh My!

 
my love of boogers began when I was a small child
I would sneeze
and the snot would fly, big mucusy globs running down my face
usually blending with my tears

where asthma was a norm and my breathing constricted
they would let loose and I would eat them
disgusting I know but little did I know I was building immunity
the germs would attack and I would devour them
greenies being favored for their rich salty taste

sliding on down my face
I would often get in trouble for having such a messy nose
my dad insisted it was gross

that there was an art to sneezing without release
I just had to be practised at it
my dad often said I was snot nosed brat
he didn't understand it felt good to let it all out

as I grew I learned to hold the tide of boogers back
I mean not a hundred percent of the time
I liked a boy once and I sneezed and my desk was covered with it
embarrsed by a natural body function and my lack of control over it

but germs have been my buddies I have keen understanding of my body
when the phlem is sweet my body has an infection
you would not think there is anything to be said about the taste of a boogie
but that's where you'd be wrong

salty and you're in the clear it's just nature taking it's course
keeping your passages clear of pollen and etc
a greeny and your body is fighting an illness
off to the doctor post haste

the world of germs are fascinating
everything fights to survive even a disease is a living oraganism
it will fight for it's existence
germ a phobes beware cleaning you're environment is fine
but your skin is your first line of defense
you have little creatures on your body that work to keep this healthy

over sanitizing can kill them making your system faulty
it's a symbiotic relationship so don't fear the booger man, eat him
