    Funny! I didn't scroll down because I wanted to read the poem and try to "figure" it out myself...I laughed when I scrolled and saw the words: plight of the booger! You're a hoot! Here I was thinking it was all profound and stuff :)

    I like those lines. Where do they come from ? And do you always post illustrations on your blog at 6 in the morning ?

    And a perfect example of how an illustration can take an inelegant topic and make it elegant, but words have to work so much harder to do the same, ne c'est pas?

    I fight back the tears as I read this- I think Willie "Wordsworth" Baronet should be your new title!
    I was in your city for the past couple of days- my son was having some serious surgery there but he is doing great. I want to go back and ride those DART tains!

    I will never think of boogers again in the same way. I hadn't realized how complicated and fraught with anxiety their existence is. Sigh. ;)
