Whimsy

Humour is not always fun
Sometimes it’s out of place
But when it strikes it could just put
A smile upon your face.i

While walking barefoot on the sand
And contemplating woe, 
The muse of humour happened by
And this I did compose: 

I am a small and tiny toe
And of the colour pink
I complement my foot so well - 
Just  love to walk in sync.

I am a large and funny bone
I do my best to charm
And with my bendy sense of fun
My humour can disarm.

I am a nose, a nosy thing
I lead us here and there
Smelling smoke from far-off fires
Just watch my nostrils flare.

Three verses will suffice for now
My muse she has grown tired
I have run out of body parts
That seem to be inspired.

Have I gained from making up 
Some humour in this way?
I have not thought of woe at all,
That’s all that I can say.
