He's Got My Nose - POem

He's got my nose
This beastly foe!
Quote me now,
For he has my nose!

My skin, it tingles,
My scalp, it gapes!
I fear the obvious-
My face is reshaped!

So where is my nose,
The instrument of scents-
I've lost it as of late!
It's my utmost lament!

Nathan has it!
That unruly boy,
He has no fear,
But I'm out to destroy!

          And so there it is. I sit here nose-less, bathing in my own saline tears. They don't flow as normal tears do - that requires a nose. Instead they fall randomly, sporadically, across my keyboard. Snot bubbles from my gaping face and dribbles gently down my quivering chin. I can see it all. Noses get in the way.
