172. Nosey Parker!



Another week, another ABC WEDNESDAY!
On my PLUS blog you will find 'Nobbys' and on my ETT SETTERA Blog there is a story called 'Nemesis!'

The children always enjoyed this poem, particularly the last line! 'Nosey Parker' was an insulting name in England when I was growing up.
NOSEY PARKER!

A nose is a most peculiar thing!
It sits there on your face.
It gets in the way when you try to sing
And it takes up too much space.
It gets blocked up nearly every Spring
And it goes bright red as well.
If it breaks, don't try a sling!
And all it does is smell.
There are two little holes where breath goes in
Right above your lip,
And you can't be blamed
If you feel ashamed
When the silly thing starts to drip, drip, drip.
When the silly thing starts to drip.
