Growing Pains

"'tis him in standing water"- and I must add, the water is often hot. Here is my sixteen year old self- rediscovered after so many years.

To a nosy Lady I know

Your nose is too long: someday
It will be cu short for you
Don' poke it about too much
Or you will be saying I did not warn you.
And why is it so long?
Why so extended may I ask?
By any chance do you know
Or are related Cyrano de Bergac?
Was it pulled to those proportions
Or to that size did normally grow
Maybe as you lied i grew longer
As with poor Pinocchio?
Well it has its purpose
It sure gives us a warning
That we keep away from you
And our secrets from your learning
Whenever there is a crack somewhere
DO not push your nose through
Instead keep off and maybe
Ourselves we will tell it to you.
If you push or poke or sneak
You'll know secrets you suppose
I am afraid that way my dear
You will only lose your nose.
So next when there is a secret
Don't poke your nose of pry
It will get cut short, you won't like it
SO do not even try.
