'History Of A Nose' Poem by Linda Winchell

I made a comment the other day
on a photo that I'd seen of you.
I wasn't trying to be rude you see
and I didn't want to come off sounding rude.

I said I'd never seen you
in a side profile your photo was taken in.
But it didn't do your nose any justice
it looked as if it protruded past your chinny, chin!

But now, there have been many larger noses in history
like Serrano, Durante who gloried in their big schnozzolas!
And I've always wounder, if when they blew them things?
If they trumpited sounds like a large trombonea?

I'm sorry if your nose to me seems quite large
and this might now sound like a bash.
But I can't help but say to you my friend
'Inka, Dinka, doo, ' and, 'Goodnight Mrs Calabash! '
Hee, Hee!
