Two Nose Holes

Often wondered why we have two nose holes When one would obviously do And why does our hair keep growing and growing Could save thousands if it never grew Some other things I've been pondering lately The number of our fingers and toes Most of us counted five on each hand and foot Before what our computers disclosed Okay, one last thing, if we didn't have two legs We fall on our bums all day long We'd have to hop along like Hopalong Cassidy Singing Hopalong Cassidy songs Often wondered why we have two nose holes When one would obviously do Of course whenever we catch a very bad cold We'd drip all the way to Timbuktu © Jack Ellison 2015

G'day young Jack... you seem to find topics that nobody would even think about Jack. When do we read about 'toenails?' - thank you for the grin Jack - Lindsay

Your poem made me realize how "important" it is that these two particular holes are indeed on our face. What if? Good one Jack

Dragon, Hubby, and I think you already have the answers... Dragon will be thinking about these things for hours... or until some adventure pops into his head again! Silly Dragon... But he's got the time to ponder...

My take on the last line: "We'll be dead, unable to breathe, in a minute or two!"
