Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face

by Jack Prelutsky

Be happy your nose is all over, 

not stuck on some other place, 

for on the off chance that it were the place it isn't, 

you may despise your nose a great deal. 

Envision if your valuable nose 

were sandwiched in the middle of your toes, 

that unmistakably would not be a treat, 

for you'd be compelled to notice your feet. 

Your nose would be a wellspring of fear 

were it joined on your head, 

it soon would drive you to lose hope, 

always tickled by your hair. 

Inside your ear, your nose would be 

an outright calamity,

for when you were obliged to sniffle, 

your mind would shake from the breeze. 

Your nose, rather, through various challenges, 

stays between your eyes and jaw, 

not glued on some other place- - 

be happy your nose is all over!
