Rhinotillexomania’s a fear of nose picking But some children like picking and flicking I don’t like snotty noses Wiped on my nice clean ‘clothsies’ But it sure beats kids picking and licking! A quiz question was what is Rhinotillexomania... of course I had to google and find out the answer hence the poem! 05/12/20

I thought it had something to do with the nose, but wasn't sure what Jan. You made a cute poem out of it. Kids always seem to embarrass their parents at places like weddings when photographers are snapping away by picking their little noses. Haha. xxoo

I have seen too many kids remove snot from their nose and then eat it, which we are told kills novel coronavirus, but I'd rather Trump it! So much for mania, Rhino or otherwise! Aloha! Rico

Jan Allison

The syllable count on the top line is out but I had to use the word in the body of the poem, couldn't resist the title either lol:-) hugs Jan xx

ha! my first reaction was actually "ewww" but, of course, not to your funny poem, jan, but to the whole sujbect. i never heard that word before either. ~ great title, too!

I'd never heard of the phobia so of course I had to write on the subject and having worked as a nursery nurse I had plenty of opportunity to view the little digits at work lol:-) hugs Jan xx
