my arm hangs off bed
wet noses tapping my hand
wake up --potty time
.........................KISS
Touch lips
Rub noses
Accepting the love
in consensual ways
freely returning it back
"we hope it will last forever"
Galaxies crumble into your gaze,
charting bright shadows through a shimmering haze.
Beneath fluttering lashes, light learns to dance,
poignant and sweet, a breath of romance.
I wish you a merry Christmas
I wish you a merry Christmas
I wish you a merry Christmas
And I cut off my left ear
I wish you a merry Christmas
I wish you a merry Christmas
I wish you a merry Christmas
And I cut off my left ear
Self-portraits I paint
and sunflowers, too
Good tidings for Christmas
And I cut off my left ear
I wish you a merry Christmas
I wish you a merry Christmas
I wish you a merry Christmas
And I cut off my left ear
I'm good at painting noses
I'm good at painting eyebrows
I know how to mix my colors
But I'm not good at ears
I'm good at painting noses
I'm good at painting eyebrows
I know how to mix my colors
But I'm not good at ears
Self-portraits I paint
And sunflowers, too
Good tidings for Christmas
And I cut off my left ear
There is a nose on my portrait
There are eyebrows on my portrait
There are nice colors on my portrait
But you don't see no ear
There is a nose on my portrait
There are eyebrows on my portrait
There are nice colors on my portrait
But you don't see no ear
My portrait I bring
A present for you
Good tidings for Christmas
But, sorry, no ear
My advice for Christmas -
Hang onto your ear
Eyes are sometimes useless when you need some combs.
Ears can see and smell what eyes and nose cannot sense under tombs.
Eyes can see gnomes, but ears can do better when darkness comes and roams.
The thing about noses
That nobody knows is
A deep, secret gnosis
They all tend to crust
So do not be snookered
We’ve all got dem boogers
Yes, even you, sugar
So pick if you must
I think on these things and thank God for my granny
whose kitchen was always full of good smells for the
young and the old:
cider
pungent, mulled
heady, mellow, festive
applejack, wassail ~~ Swiss Miss, hot chocolate
creamy, soothing, sweet
marshmallows, aromatic
cocoa

A nose for a rose.
Dang bee has flown up my nose.
Ouch, both bee and rose.

Rhymed Senryu
Performing
Perfumes
Into noses
No to some
Yes to some
Telling noses
Knowing what are the tongues, lid them lips like masks.Severely infected how?the pieces of noses, come someone to distance the noses from the tongues and see what?
Eyebrows on noses and whiskers on women
Large rats and wombats that suckle my kitten
Penguins that waddle in hot sulfur springs
These are a few of my befuddled things
La da, di da da
Piglets that paddle in puddles of poodles
Parrots that prattle for peanuts and noodles
Wild things that fly in the face of my fan
These are the things that I chase when I can
La da, di da da, li da da, li da da
Rabies and robbers and nights in Havana
Babies that slobber on bites of banana
Fickle young fingers in pickles and kraut
These are the things that my life is about
When the elephant stomps
When the Man-o-war stings
When I'm feeling small
I simply remember my old mattress springs
And then I can't jump
At all!
La da, di da da, li da da, li da!
A nose is called many names
Some of them quite funny
Sometimes they are spotty
And often very runny
If you are unlucky you could have a bulbous nose
I would rather have a slender one, that's choosy I suppose
Roman noses are much larger and inclined to bend
Retrousser ones are saucy and turn up at the ends
Prominent noses stand out and can be very long
Hooters are another name that sounds more like a gong
A pig has a strange nose it is called a snout
It's not like other noses it's flat and don't stick out
An elephants nose is called a trunk it looks more like a hose
It is very useful as well the elephant knows
Then there's the proboscis monkey with his extraordinary sense of smell
They can use their schnozzle to find a boy or girl
There are lots of other names like sniffer, bugle, pug
I bet you've read enough of this so i'll pull out the plug
Harry had a dog, Old Red
his hobby, treeing squirrels.
One day Harry’s garden was, assaulted
by squirrels with tails a’twirl.
Now Old Red didn’t tolerate
any squirrels stealing nuts;
He decided he would set straight
that squirrel’s, thieving butt.
Old red took a jump and chased
that thief with Harry’s food;
he had decided to erase
Mr. Squirrel’s stealing mood.
But, squirrels are tough rascals
Old red let out a yelp;
Harry had to cackle,
at the sight of giant nose whelp.
Old Red’s pride was hurt,
of that there is no doubt.
Squirrel eventually became dessert;
Red wears a smiling snout.
A man and woman met
in a moving passenger train
Fell in love they did
but both had long noses
two weeks they tried to kiss
but no way to reach there
both noses pleaded long
both tried grabbing chances
but no success within reach
let’s go to doctor for advice
and lo! surgery was done
and so were able to kiss
and kiss and kiss in arrears
.
slugs have four noses or so it is said
and a pig cannot see the blue sky overhead
.
birds cannot pee and worms eat their own poo
and a crocodile can’t poke it’s tongue out at you
.
Kangaroos cannot jump if you lift up their tail
and a small child could swim through the veins of a whale
.
a shrimp has a heart which he keeps in his head
a hot Hippo is scary his sweat is bright red
.
but the best fact of all, and this one takes the crown -
pink flamingos have lunch with their heads upside down!
