So I'm trying to memorize this poem to use for my storytelling class (I have to tell 2-3 stories (I'm using a poem as well as 2 stories) for children, 2 stories for teens, and 2 stories for adults). I just thought I'd share this funny poem with all of you!
Be Glad Your Nose Is On Your Face by Jack Prelutsky
Be glad your nose is on your face,
not pasted on some other place,
for if it were where it is not,
you might dislike your nose a lot.
Imagine if your precious nose,
were sandwiched in between your toes,
that clearly would not be a treat,
for you'd be forced to smell your feet.
Your nose would be a source of dread
were it attached atop your head,
it soon would drive you to despair,
forever tickled by your hair.
Within your ear your nose would be
an absolute catastrophe,
for when you were obliged to sneeze
your brain would rattle from the breeze.
Your nose instead through thick and thin,
remains between your eyes and chin,
Not pasted on some other place--
be glad your nose is on your face!

So cute!!
that poem was beating around the bush... i can think of a couple of way worse places for a nose. :)
And it's a good thing your nose isn't upside down...if you went outside during a rainstorm, you would drown! Thanks for sharing!
You don't know me, but I know Em so we're connected somehow...anyway I love that poem. I make my fifth graders memorize it every year!!
