For Elisson
because I was out of my mind all day yesterday
Sniffly snuffly
it’s not enough when we
fill up a hanky with bogies and goo
We must perform a quick
rhinodextrectomy
finding something
we can wipe on our shoe.
Sorry it took so long. Next, I’m thinking, a limerick, subject tires.
Most impressive. Even if it does not adhere strictly to form (the second line must contain a proper noun), you get major props for “rhinodextrectomy.”
If you can cheat on haiku, I can cheat on dactyl. And if you’re gonna make up a word, let it be a good one.
That one’s not just good – it’s excellent. We’ll need to start working it into everyday conversations.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
“Performing an emergency rhinodextrectomy.”
Especially at the second knuckle- a semidigital rhinodextrectomy.
