Robert, I only found this because I read your No 1 poem. So thanks for the prompt. And for this poem which is quite a hoot! What is it about males and noses? My beloved attends to his at bedtime as a sort of dogged and determined ritual (perhaps it is the history of sinus that prompts the intensity of his snorting and heaving and blowing) . I must admit during the early heady days of our intimacy I was somewhat startled by the fz of his hooting, but these days, it's just part of living with the one I love. You have taken a plain sort of subject and produced a work of wit and delightful quirkiness. Thanks. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
you made me smile..my nose is flat..now i realized its very important use..LOL.thanks for this treat. Hugs, Meggie
simile....NICE FIGURE OF SPEECH.., , , but the truth....i only have one purpose, , , only for breathing..
Well done. Thanks for the humor. I have to be careful when blowing my nose, in case someone nearby is eating. One thing I remember about my father is the way he blew his nose. For some reason, I can't really remember anyone's sneeze in particular. I like all the descriptive adjectives you employed.
Nice poem on the subject.10
