Kora Kerplunk’s Travelling Tongue

Kora Kerplunk was a puzzling young child.

with muck covered clothes and hair that was wild.

she was messy and feisty and liked

to play rough ,but most of all she loved to lick yucky stuff .

boogers and blackboards, windows and dirt, gray gum on the ground, and stains on her shirt.

some Playdough, a dog's tongue, the dusty door frame,t’ was

all worth a licking all things were fair game.

her poor mom and dad were completely grossed out. they'd pull at her arm ,and desperately shout, Kora Kerplunk please stop licking that now!

your tongue will run off on you, someday.......somehow!

and so one bright morning, it was no surprise, when kora woke up and saw

with bleary eyes,

A note from her tongue, slightly dampened with drool, written with pencils she'd borrowed from school.

“dear Kora, I'm finished! I'm running away! I'm sick of the foul things you lick every day!

your habits are ghastly, no word of a lie. it's time that I left, so good luck and

goodbye !

Kora was stunned when she read her tongue's letter, but thought that

some breakfast would make her feel better .

she went to the kitchen and sat in her seat, but without her tongue She

just couldn't eat!

she tried to call “Mom” through her tears and her snot, but without her

tongue.....

Kora found she could not !

just how would she talk, or eat, or drink too?

without her pink tongue, what was she to do?

day after day Kora struggled with life,

not having her tongue caused her nothing but Strife .

living tongue free was incredibly hard, so she wrote to her tongue in a beautiful

card:

“dear tongue, I am sorry for all that I've done, without you my life is so sad and un-fun.

I need you like burgers need fresh mayonnaise!

please come back home-I'll change my gross way ways!

but her tongue, it was having the most Splendid time. Each country it went

to had meals so Sublime.

Japan with its sushi, the croissants in France, the Spanish Paella made kora's tongue dance.

Falafels in Egypt, and dumplings in China, the souvlaki in Greece, could not get much finer.

the tongue slid its way through the tastes of the globe, eating marvelous meals in its plush Hotel robe.

once more, kora tried to plead her sad case.

she sent off a selfie of her mournful face.

seeing this sight, kora's tongue started home, all sunburnt and dried out

from touring round rome.

her tongue arrived home.Kora cried with Elation, it jumped right back into

its mouthy location.

you're back! .Kora gasped, I'm so sorry you went.

my life without you has been total torment.

I make you this promise, I make you this vow, no more licking gross things, and that's starting now.

there's just one small thing, just one question I've got.......

would it be all right if I still lick my snot?
