is this familiar to you ?
Habit's
Our grand daughter Rosemarie has long blonde flowing hair
she ties it up with ribbons and gives it lots of care
shes fortunate to have it , but lately Heaven knows
shes learned a filthy habit, she sits and picks her nose
Her eyes are bright and beautuful, an amber shade of brown
the lashes long and truly truly soft as eiderdown
im always kind and gentle, but my anger grows and grows
cause its not coincidential that she sits and picks her nose
I told her pay attention and stop A-doin that
go and use a tissue and don't aggravate me pet
but do i have to tell you when the hankie overflows
she wraps it round her finger nail then sticks it up her nose
And when her picks successful she hides the stuff shes found
between her finger and her thumb and rolls it round and round
she looks to see whose watching then bingo ,off it goes
she flicks it with her finger nail then sits and picks her nose
I've thought of buying scissors to trim her nails real short
or tie her hands behind her back but thats a last resort
for 'tho' her thumbs her preference shed try it with her toes
so i watch with some indifference when she sits and picks her nose.
