NOSES

Used to wonder why

God gave some of us long noses?

Others are broad and wide.

Jimmy Dirante called his a "Snozzola".

I never knew I had a different nose

Until one day in second grade

Catherine Mulvehill told me

That Tommy Murphy said that

"I would be the prettiest girl in

Second grade if I did not have such

A long nose"! Well then I began to

Wonder why that was. Finally I

Realized one day that all the best

Singers I've known had them.

They resonate the lovely sound

Of a beautiful singing voice just

Like a fabulous instrament.

Thank you Lord for giving me

A long large nose! Mother always

Told me to be thankful for even having

A nose at all because she read in the paper

That a lady in Kansas City let a squrrel

Run up her arm one day. She was happy

Thinking he would do her no harm when

All of a sudden he BIT OFF HER NOSE!

Wow, I should start a contest called

The long, large nosed singers annual

Contest inviting all people in that catagory

In the U. S., or even the world to come.

I'll call it the Jimmy Dirante Nose-Off!

We will have judges who measure to see

Just who has the longest, largest, biggest nose.

I'll bet that person will have the best voice in history.

Yep, I'm gonna do it. I'll tell them all to

Bring a big red ribbon along to tie around their noses.

Now for the first time in my life I really do appreciate

My beautiful long nose!

In fact I just might tie a pretty red ribbon around it

Or a blue one meaning 1st prize then wear it every day.

I really have learned to love my long nose!
