'once I attempted to rid myself of it, but all my efforts were in vain, and wherever I went, it attracted their difficulties and placed me in danger.' YES, your 'nose' might get 'bent'! ! DON'T go online. bri : ) 5 stars
But now I'm satisfied that it's not the 'nose' like the fleshy above one's mouth, but...how can I explain it? Did I already state this: 'The meaning of STICK/POKE ONE'S NOSE IN/INTO is to get involved in or want information about (something that does not concern one) .' bri ; ])
I was uncertain, as I began to read this poem, as to what intrusions the speaker's nose was guilty of committing/'doing'. At first I thought the nose just had a super-sniffing ability.
I am 'struck' my the obvious (to me) & unusual use of punctuation marks, and the lack of capitalization where I would use it. You KNOW what I mean, I think. It did NOT bother me, but could at times.

Human nature is tough to change, Now I live in seclusion, In a distant place, maintaining a safe distance from all sorts of trouble, hoping that this lengthy nose will forget the art of intrusion.
How to control nose poking is never taught anywhere, one learns it by hard ways. Good humorous poem with underline lesson. Thoughtful and thought provoking.
Another fun poem from your pen! Enjoyed reading and laughed.We should not poke nose, but protect it from from unexpected blows
