Nose Ticking Poem by Ima Ryma

A pretty safe place for a tick
Is way up the nose of an ape.
It's hard for ape fingers to pick,
But room for a tick to escape.
Which I did, jumping nose to nose,
And up the nostril of some man.
I thought, let's just see how this goes.
But it turned out a gotcha plan.
The man felt me and got some tools,
And plucked me out into his view.
Now I had to play by his rules,
Be studied close, as humans do.

My hanging in nose days are done.
But while it lasted, it was fun.
