Well I’m not being nosey

     But did you study your nose?

Did you think to yourself:

     'It should be nearer my toes?'

​

Or perhaps you have thought:

     'Well I don’t like its size,'

Or considered the fact

     That it’s too near your eyes?

 

Did you think to yourself

     That it needs much attention? -

The cleaning and picking

     Are two things to mention  - - 

​

The blowing, the snoring,

     The running and - please –

Ahhhhh!  Keep back! 

     Here comes my S N E E Z E.

 

    Achoooooooooooo

 

​

It’s a really good job

    It’s attached to our brain

And is one thing of many

     All linked in a chain.

​

When the nose tells the brain

     There’s good food nearby,

Your taste buds feel happy

     And think: 'Well, let’s try!' 

​

Your nose sends a message

     When danger is near.

If it’s just toast that’s burning

     You’ve not much to fear - - 

​

But if your nose wakes you up

     In the middle of night

And the house is on fire!! - 

     My word!  What a fright!

 

The nose is quite happy

     With sweet smelling scent

But bad odours, like stink bombs,

     Are things that torment.

​

So love your poor nose

     For it works hard for you,

And, with this sweet smelling thought,

     I wish you adieu!
