Chewing on my fingernails
I could not quite resist
So I decided I’d seek help
From a hypnotist
How she seemed to do it I
Will never know for sure
But my fingernails don’t look
So yummy anymore
Guess I should be happy that
I’m now free of that bane
‘Cept I quack just like a duck
Every time it rains
๐๐ (couldn’t find a duck…lol)
Ha, ha! I’ll take it! Hey, on my side, I couldn’t find anything to rhyme with chicken!
Oh, you are fine. They simply need to work on their emojis to fit you๐๐๐
Really!!

How ’bout licking?
I don’t think that I can be hypnotized. I have friends who have quit cigarettes through hypnosis, but I don’t know how they were able to let themselves get into that hypnotic state.
Yeah, I actually read a bit about hypnosis before publishing this one. I think some people are immune to it.
I find we trade one habit for another. Smokers now vape; nail biters become gum chewers; and adrenaline junkies now eat at Chipote. Vicious cycles! ๐
Well, having absolutely no bad habits, I wouldn’t really know what you mean! Ha, ha!
Hah! Did I mention I’m merely a witness to this conundrum? ๐
Of course you are!
Bahahahaa!!
No harm in that! A happy duck! Ha ha!
Ha! I suppose better a happy duck than a nail biter!
Always!
I love it..I can’t figure out if it was a mistake..or revenge of the hypnotist or a trade off ๐
I never thought of it that way! I would chalk it up to some kind of awful mistake but maybe I’m being naive!
Lol! Funny!
Thank you!
Tried a hypnotist years back to give up smoking…didn’t work at all!
I heard that some are immune…suppose you’re one.
Tried my very hardest to relax yet couldn’t but help to notice the hypnotist had a pack of Marlboro upon her desk! Not a good start really.
No, I’ll have to agree with you there.
Are you inferring that all hypnotists are fraudulent Quacks? Loved the ending as usual.
How did I not pick up on that?
It’s hard to find a good hypnotist these days! The side effects can be quack interesting.
Yep, go to read the fine print.
Gets you every time.
Suscepibke to hypnosis or performed self hypnosis, Ifter al I think Daisey duck is a Millionaire
Maybe a good move then!
It’s okay. Quacking like a duck is healthier than chewing on the nails. Right? No harm no fowl.
See what I did there?
Very punny Colleen! Yes, I would take my quacking habit over the chewed fingernails.. except now they’re coming to take me away!
I’ll visit.
There’s always a catch in the fine print! Quack! It’s raining here ๐
Don’t I know it!
At least your quack will echo! The myth of the duck’s quack not echoing has been dispelled. ๐ We’d appreciate some rain as well … it has been murderously hot today. So please quack away!
Well, perhaps I’ve dispelled a myth but not much I can do about the rain. Where are you located? I’m in Socal where it’s been quite hot and drought conditions as usual.
Down Under! ๐จ๐๐ฆ๐บ๐
Oh, well there you go!
Hahaha Bravo
Cheers!
It’s a small price to pay…
I suppose it is (quack)
BTW what sounds do ducks make when it snows? LOL
I have no idea! Ha, ha!
I tried to think of a punch-line for that one but failed LOL!
This one cracked me up, Marissa! :)I have admiration for those who seek help to quit smoking or stop biting their nails but the barking or weird complications would scare me. Hope you have a great weekend! Smiles, Robin
Yes, I wonder if it really happens. I think, more often than not, it just doesn’t work at all!
Ahh, those psycho hypnotists… always playing *QUACK*…
For sure! I don’t buy it for a second!
my, Friend can
he did it to, me
then, I began 2 live.
Oh how wonderful for you! I’m glad it was a successful experience. My poems are just for fun!!
Lovely
