My flaw: An embarrassing habit when amused.
The Joke's On Me
I have a flaw
when I guffaw –
it does not sound quite right.
Oh, I’m in such a sorry plight.
It’s a bad matter
when windows shatter,
but that is not my niggle.
I often SNORT when I giggle.
Every now and then
I sound like a hen,
then my cackle becomes a SNORT,
with such a loud report.
I think you’ll agree,
when I’m snorting with glee
the pig-like sound is unseemly.
Tee hee, SNORT, splutter.
I hear you mutter
that it is rude to snort.
Yes, I was taught
that’s so,
and I really, truly know.
But when rocked with fun
I come undone
and my habit comes to the fore:
from piglet to snorting big boar.
Snort, SNORT, I do snuffle,
embarrassed, I shuffle
away so you can’t hear
that noise when I am near.
Please, don’t be so funny –
my nose will get runny
and snot and SNORTS will fly,
just like in a grubby pig’s sty.
Don’t crack a joke,
for it will evoke
a snorting sound you will deplore –
you’ll probably show me the door.
My laughing noise
erodes my poise
but something I really dread
is that I’ll pee my pants instead!
However, I’m pleased to report
that when I snort
the sound comes out my nose.
So, I suppose
when laughter’s tickle
becomes a trickle
my snorting will seem less bad
if I have to wear a pad.
Old age, what fun, how sad!
Knees up, let’s laugh, be glad.
The joke is on me –
a laugh made me wee.
Let’s all go snort, snort, SNORT,
while we piss about and cavort!
