Things you just have to run with

or maybe I should have run from?

Two guys at work were commenting about ways to keep people from moving one’s stuff. One says, “Boogers on Everything!” There was some laughing but then the other said “please can we start a band/rap group?!” with that as a name.

I, always on the lookout for über-cool phrases, got out my iPhone and wrote down “Boogers on Everything” and allowed that I could work that into a haiku or two. So without further ado:

Things we can’t stomach:
Eeew! Boogers on Everything
Zombies marking turf.

crumbs and bottle caps
slime. Boogers on Everything.
ketchup on walls.

toe nails and fingers,
hair, boogers on everything
small pool of old blood.

small bite marks and gnaws.
boogers on everything near.
slime on all the rest.

what shall we do then?
fresh boogers on everything
not already dead.

(There are probably more of them lurking in there but I’m going to show some restraint. You can thank me later.)
