The Sniffle - by Ogden Nash



Ogden Nash

The Sniffle 
----------- 
by Ogden Nash
(1902-1971)
 
 In spite of her sniffle 
Isabel's chiffle. 
Some girls with a sniffle
 Would be weepy and tiffle; 
They would look awful, 
Like a rained-on waffle, 
But Isabel's chiffle 
In spite of her sniffle.
 Her nose is more red 
With a cold in her head, 
But then, to be sure, 
Her eyes are bluer. 
Some girls with a snuffle,
 Their tempers are uffle. 
But when Isabel's snivelly 
She's snivelly civilly, 
And when she's snuffly 
She's perfectly luffly.
