Kimmiekins: An Ode to Spitting (or I don't do phlegm)
I'm no sissy when things get pissy,
I can handle most anything.
I've been elbow deep in a toddler's heap
That would make a mere mortal's eyes weep.
But spare me please from the teens’ disease
Of mucus, snot and phlegm:
The teens’ fascination - mucosal emanation,
Oh Lord, here we go again!
The horking and hacking,
The spitting’s not lacking –
I cringe when I hear the sound!
Beware as you’re talking and watch
Where you’re walking
That “yackage” your foot hasn’t found!
Having a teenage daughter, I often have teenage boys around. This kind of thing is unacceptable to me, and I let them know.
And they always respect my wishes and rules.
