“The Fingernail Muncher!” - Coming soon to a Theater near you! 😳

I am grateful for my fingernails,

They give me something to do,

Whether I am happy,

and sometimes when I’m blue,

You see sometimes I get a bit excited,

And they are just there waiting to be devoured,

They cure my anxiety temporarily,

Look, I don’t do it ALL the time (yes I do!)

But if I didn’t have them,

My fingers would probably

Be raw red,

So it’s part of the master’s plan,

To have that little bit of wriggle room in-between

And for that I’m highly grateful

As I spit out a mouthful -

(I don’t do that I swear! Shut-up okay - you probably do!)

But, have you ever tried to bite your toenails?

Me either,

I’m just asking for a friend!

And on that note, I have ten friends,

One on each finger,

That grow back even thicker!

This piece of writing is disgusting,

but it has to be said,

There’s a time for manners,

But not ‘till I’m dead.
