There is a girl known as twinkle toes Who is dancing wherever she goes She’s the sequin queen Shines like a sunbeam Such a shame the girl sports a hook-nose.

Good one with an unexpected ending! No one dances with the hook-nose queen, do they?

Cute one. Dr. Paul Nassif TV cosmetic surgeon could fix her right up. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

The only thing I like more than hook noses are ski noses! All good, Robert

I wouldn’t turn my nose up at a ski nose, better that than one that grows, like Pinocchio’s. Thanks Robert… Beryl
