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.

Jajaja, nice!
Reminds me of father telling, kids
They are digging for gold or a whopper.

LOL, it's not. The long lost 10 year old in me found this immensely hysterical. Very witty!

I enjoyed reading your poem. It is humorous and imaginary. I liked the spin off."The ancients lived in caves,
and we honor where they've been." Keep writing!

Yesterday this was a real problem. Today I am letting it go.

For fun it is. Curiosity is one of our most powerful motives, even in picking our noses.

JayG,
Hahahaha!
Our primal need for discovery, to explain mysteries, and to boldly go where no one has gone before explained!

This is the damnation we live as younger siblings and sisters to brothers. As I've once said "Pick your own damn nose and toes."
