damgog

Damgog wont touch me! Damgog wont touch me! Damgog wont touch me!!!
Parents often tell their children of Damgog, who, if he touches you, will give you a severe skin irritation, which will be very evident. He is a vulturesque man with laserbead eyes and fat little stuffy fingers. He touches you if you are a bad kid, like swearing in public, kicking innocent things, groping, playing Kookina, or some other foolishness. It is a legend as old as all get out. And there is a song that children sing as they bathe and get ready for the day. It is the song that I put at the top of the page. It is a way of preparing themselves mentally for the task of being good for sixteen hours. Or more.
Is there really a Damgog? Theories are as varied as the different types of skin irritations attributed to him. There was an old hermit crow-keeper names Dnaago, who, due to the close contact with crows, developed skalefinger, a very contagious skin disease. But this is inconclusive as to whether or not the real Damgog exists. Damgog is a timeless piece of a child's upbringing. He is as popular on greeting cards as Norkie, the bumbletree or the Spirit of Dentistry: Jiles.
Please investigate this and don't let Damgog touch you.
