The Nose

Among the body's organs that is never in repose

There is none so busy as the solitary nose.

Throned in grandeur on the face like ancient pyramid,

putting men a step above the ostrich and the squid.

Vigilant in sniffing out an onion or a rose –

Everybody wishes that they had a second nose.

One to poke in business that is none of their affair –

One to signify contempt by pointing in the air.

Whether yours is button cute or something from Durante,

Pampered in a mansion or ground down in tumbled shanty,

Browned upon the bosses' rear or bent quite out of shape,

Our nose is what keeps all of us from looking like a grape.

So raise a Kleenex in salute to noses sweet as sugar . . .

 when your pride is at the flood you're bound to drop a booger.
