Does this cold make my nose look big??

I thought it was just allergies.
Maybe it started out that way.
It's now worse.
And
Jim's got it.
Isaac's got it.
Naissa's got it.
Zack's got it.
I've got it.
Jade might even have it.
I hate it.
It makes me gag.
It dulls my hearing.
It dulls my smelling. (not always a bad thing)
It dulls my taste buds.
It even affects my speech.
It keeps us up at night.
It makes Jim snore louder.
I don't understand where it all comes from.
How do our bodies produce so much of it?
I know you know what I'm talking about.
It's not just a Loper thing.
It's not even just a human thing.
Some of our cat's have had it.
It should be considered one of "those" four letter words.
It can make you miserable.
It's can be contagious too.
I'm sick of it.

SNOT.
