Oliver Cooke and the Snot Surprises

Oliver Cooke was feeling rather sick, his nose was running, oh so quick! He became a snot producing machine, with boogers and mucus, a slimy scene.

A young boy with messy hair, blue eyes, and pale skin lying in bed with tissues all around, his nose dripping with green snot

His daddy came in with a hanky in hand, a clean white cloth, oh so grand! Oliver borrowed it without worry or hurry, not knowing it would become all yucky and dirty.

They went outside for a walk in the park, but Oliver's nose continued to bark. Every step he took, a slimy trail was left, his snot surprises were quite the theft.

His daddy was grossed out by the gooey mess, he couldn't believe it, it was a distress! Oliver apologized with a sniffle and a sigh, he didn't mean to make his daddy's hanky cry.

They rushed back home to clean up the mess, Oliver's nose needed a big 'ole bless. With tissues and wipes, they cleaned and scrubbed, hoping his nose would no longer throb.

Oliver learned his lesson, he'll be more careful next time, he won't let his snot be a crime. No more snotty surprises for his daddy to see, Oliver's nose will be as good as can be.
