Has anyone ever turned into a snark?
|
|
|
|
|
In the sun? In the rain? When it's light? When it's dark?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm asking because in the past couple days
|
|
|
|
|
Snark features have turned up in frightening ways.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Monday the snark hair began to appear
|
|
|
|
|
I felt just a tuft of it under my ear.
|
|
|
|
|
On Tuesday, my daugter declared with shagrin
|
|
|
|
|
It grew to envelop my cheeks and my chin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Wednesday I noted with mounting alarm
|
|
|
|
|
that snark hair was starting to grow on my arm.
|
|
|
|
|
On Thursday I woke up and got quite distressed:
|
|
|
|
|
the thick, furry snark hair had covered my chest!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This morning, I came in to work and found out
|
|
|
|
|
my nose was beginning to look like a snout.
|
|
|
|
|
My hands looked like snark claws; my feet did as well,
|
|
|
|
|
I carried a pungent, distinct snark-like smell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It looks as though snarkdom may be in the works.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm still undecided about all the perks:
|
|
|
|
|
My hearing and sniffing's improved, and that's cool,
|
|
|
|
|
But everything's suddenly slimed with snark drool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So if you're aware of a cure for this ill,
|
|
|
|
|
be it some kind of tonic, or potion, or pill,
|
|
|
|
|
please tell me! Or else when I go to the park,
|
|
|
|
|
kids won't call me "Mister", they'll just shout "Hey, Snark!"
|
