The Nose

The Nose

© by Bud Lemire on March 30, 2006

I'm so glad we have one of those

And so glad that mine never grows

Some people still choose to pick

Seeing this makes some people sick

So many things that we can smell with a nose

The foods that we cook, or a freshly cut rose

The smell of the grass after a good rain

Or something that the cooking pan contains

Some are odors that are disgusting to you

A dead skunk in the road, or sour milk too

Someone not using deodorant under their arm

Reeking so strongly, causing an alarm

The Lilac is a fragrance I enjoy

Ever since I was a little boy

The aroma touches me in a special way

They still effect me, to this day

There's so much that you can smell

Sniff the right choices, you've come to know well

The Nose on the middle of your face

Can you think of a better place

Thank God for our Noses. To be able

to smell all the wonderful things.
