THE SNIFFLE
by Ogden Nash
In spite of her sniffle
Isabel’s chiffle.
Some girls with a sniffle
would be weepy and riffle.
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.
