As bright laughter erupts with a geyser-like force,
farm fresh milk that was swallowed abrubtly changed course,
now from nostrils projected it spews in two streams,
it's a "peach" of of a sight (I'll take mine with two creams!"

"Hey!""What is all this ruckus?" the teacher inquires.
"I leave for two seconds and things go haywire,
you're supposed to be doing Iambic for me!"
"Yeah but "Teach" didn't you say," I ask querilously,

"That we all should draw pictures with words here this month?"
"This might sound absurd, but, I just did it "1"th."
"Spouting milk from ones' nose, (I would think you'd agree),
That a fountain of foam paints a portrait, you see!"

"Now that isn't exactly what I had in mind,
so you'd better shape up or you're going to find
that you'll be on detention, I'm warning you Moose,
one more snicker from you and I'll kick your caboose!"

"I'm so sorry Miss Nanners, I'll try to behave,
not to drive you "bananners" and cause you to rave
and I'll paint no more pictures with nose foaming milk."
(I sure hope that that suit you've got on isn't silk!)

"But,perhaps some club soda will get out that stain,
I'm really quite sorry and hope to remain
your friend truly, Doc Moose. (C'mon be a good sport,
it was only a glass, not the whole flippin' quart!"

I want the seat behind Doc Moose,
To duck the milk bath and hair pull.
This crazy guy in on the loose.
But the classroom is never dull.

P.S.  Doc, you may have to stand in the corner for this one!

Bridget,
Thank you. As they say,"you roll the dice and takes your chances", besides, it wouldn't be the first time I wrote myself into a corner.

ROTFL at this. Yep, you milked it alright, all the way back to the barn.
Enjoyed the spew.

Holy Cow - I've been chuckling about this for days now... I only have one question, though...

Was it white milk or chocolate.. ??

and... Does chocolate milk come from brown cows.. like eggs & chickens???
