National Poetry Month--Day 26--Poem-in-Your-Pocket Day

So today is Poem-in-Your-Pocket Day, which I didn't know until just now. I could totally have shared my poem at the dentist if I'd known. Ah well. We get to see the dental surgeon today too, so there's that. If you want to know what this is, go here. Otherwise, I'm writing something today but I'll probably show yesterday's poem since I really love how it came out. Anywho, here's today's children's poem:

Nosy

Ever had something get stuck in your nose 

And you can't seem to get the thing out?

It could be a bean or a button or block

And all you can do is shout.

It's hiding way up there where nothing'll reach

Not a crochet hook, toothbrush or pen

When you tell your sweet mom about the obstruction

She freaks out and goes round the bend

She doesn't want screaming or stomping around

And she won't let you use your finger

It's a pretty sure bet that she'll haul you away 

To the doctor and that's a real zinger.

He'll try not to snicker with the nurses in back

He'll endeavor to get the thing out

And if you complain about no lollipop

You can bet you'll have reason to pout.

And your mom is irate at the time that you've shot

But she adores her fabulous kid

It's a much better plan that instead of all this

Don't stick it up there like you did.
