Bradley the Tissue

by Snoink


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.


Is this a review?

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 know, its the weirdest thing, eh?

Bradley must be a popular name for the ever so useful tissue.

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! :)
