The Nose Knows

This was suggested by something that was popular among the teens when I was young, and was meant to get a reaction from my granddaughter. The second piece was my son's reaction.

I stuck my finger in my nose

And scraped it all around

 

I took it out and studied it

To see what I had found

 

I straightened up and struck a pose

To show what I had got

 

I thought I’d find the finger bare

But in the end, it’s not.

The ancients lived in caves,
and we honor where they've been

By finding caves within us,
to stick our fingers in.

"I thought I’d find the finger bare
But in the end, it’s not."

Haha! That punchline is very clever, make me chuckle out loud.

"The Nose Knows" is a very humorous poem. I enjoyed every line, and the humor is in the relativity... LOL

JayG,
And what fun it is! I love the speculation and pithy explanation of our finger exploration deep inside our holes.
