As the Nose Grows

The puppet boy Pinocchio achooed
for he had a nose that grew and grew.
His cat Figaro scratched its back on that nose 
and Geppetto used the schnozz to hang his hose!

His nose only grew when he was telling lies. I wonder why there are so many politicians and used car salesmen with short noses? Your writing looks like a competitor in the contest.
