“Booger Boo: The Friendly Ghost Who Has A Cold”

What is a Booger Boo?

Is it something that’s tied to a shoe?

I hardly think that’s what it is

Or is it something, not of my biz?

As I look it up in my dictionary,

I find it is not a bird canary.

I know what a booger is; it comes out of your nose,

A slimy thing that some people think is so gross.

And Boo, is a word to scare people on Halloween.

Oh, them crazy ghosts think they are so mean!

Now, if we put those two words together, Booger Boo.

To me, that is a slimy-nosed ghost, all full of goo!

Ghosts with a cold are not fun anymore,

They would be nose-blowing and pacing the floor.

I’ll take care of his cold, your buddy, Booger Boo!

I’ll buy him colored Kleenex so he can boo…ah-choo!
