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 dread²

    were it attached atop your head，

    it soon would drive you to despair，

    forever tickled³ by your hair.

    Within your ear， your nose would be

    an absolute catastrophe⁴，

    for when you were obliged to sneeze，

    your brain would rattle⁵ from the breeze.

    Your nose， instead， through thick and thin，

    remains⁶ between your eyes and chin，

    not pasted on some other place——

    be glad your nose is on your face！
