No Nose Beans

A young teacher in Wichita
Excused her class with a strange phrase,
"Don't stick any beans up your nose!"
It just never ceased to amaze!

She told them when she was quite young
She stuck a small bean up her nose
She told no one that it was stuck
Just too embarrassed I suppose

It had been there a couple of months
Before a doctor took it out
But when they saw it, what a shock
The little bean had begun to sprout!

So each day when the class bell rang
You always heard that teacher say,
"Don't stick any beans up your nose,"
And have a nice rest of the day!

I know! I just read that poem recently and that's what reminded me of the teacher. The teacher was actually a teacher of my brother's. He told me the story.....Funny.......80)...Pat
