Bradley the Tissue

There once was a tissue named Bradley
Who could only do things quite sadly.
He snuffled and moaned
And bickered and groaned
And got thrown away quite gladly.

Hi, Snoink, OMG HAHAHAHAHA!!! This is the cutest little poem I have ever read!!!! I absolutely fell in love with it!
The concept/ idea is so fantastic, telling the poem from the perspective of a tissue. AMAZING! It is a sad little piece almost dull but still very good. It is so short and cute I don’t want you to change anything. But maybe next time expand a bit on one line just to make emphasis on the sadness.
All in all it is a great poem. I look forward to reading more of your work...
Thanx,
Watchmeburn

Awesome Snoink! This poem made me smile. :) <-- See.
It's amusing, short, simple and enjoyable. I'll definitely think twice before using a tissue. And who knows, someday I might run into poor little Bradley lying crumpled up and used. At the moment of the throwing away he was not used, am I correct?

I liked this. It made me smile. I think that the last line needs to be a syllable longer though. Maybe try saying "rather" instead of "quite", as that should fix this problem. Also, I think it would be fresher than saying "quite" twice in such a short poem. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.

I once wrote a limerick about tissues....

Let me see if I can remember, I think it went a little like this:

I once had a thought that weren't pure,
Inside a feeling did begin to mature.
I then closed my eyes,
Imagined a swimsuit issue...

Then there was something about a tissue. I think.

Or anyway, it was something like that.

Snoink,


This was a pleasurable read. It was something I might expect to stumble upon in a Shel Silverstein book. No serious comments, since this does not beckon seriousness.


Keep it up,
Brad

Ah, thanks!

And don't worry... tissues are little whiners, they are!

What should I use besides "quite?" Any ideas?

Nice, but "quite sadly" doesn't sound right to me. Use something else in place of quite.

But a good limerick! :)
