Snot Funny Poem by Kim Barney

Perhaps you have wondered
or even yet, pondered
words pertaining to 'nose',
and the list, it just grows.
Consider this, then:
They start with 'sn'.

I have noticed that quite a few words pertaining to the nose (its function, appearance, and social connotations) begin with the letters SN.

With the help of your nose, you can SNEEZE, SNARL, SNICKER, SNORE, SNIFFLE, SNIVEL, SNUFFLE, SNORT, SNEER and SNIFF. There are probably others I have overlooked.

Your nose can be called a SNOOT or a SNOUT.

A certain bird with a long nose (bill) is a SNIPE.

Most people's noses contain you-know-what, but some could contain SNUFF. There are those who call heroin SNOW, so they might SNORT SNOW through their SNOUT.

A person who turns his nose up at others is a SNOB and could be considered SNOOTY. He will probably SNUB the rest of us. Someone who sticks his nose into other people's business is a SNOOP.

Isn't the English language fascinating?
