Long & green between thumb & forefinger,
she fished it out of her nose.

First graders do all sorts of ill-mannered
things, I suppose.

But to savor the slimy lizard as tasty morsel
was stretching it a bit.

Spreading it on a ******* is
where this little charming story should have quit.

Suffice to say, she's a little radical,
one of those raiders of a lost art.

Eating ones own boogers takes bravado,
and earns a gold star for this ornery upstart.
