Things Encyclopaedias Don'T Tell You Poem by Michael Shepherd

Things Encyclopaedias Don'T Tell You

Rating: 2.8


Where do bogies go
when you leave them be?
Do they, Dr. Einstein, cling
to the nostril wall until
dessication overbalances the force
of adhesion against gravity, and
they fall on someone's floor?

How can one equate
the working-out
of natural law with
a clean, scoured, functional nostril or
the pleasure of finger food?

I thought everyone knew the answer to this question! If you don’t remove a bogie yourself or it doesn’t come out naturally, that’s when (while we sleep) , the fairy cleaners come and vacuum out our noses with tiny weeny little Hoovers and pink glittery feather dusters. Simple really :) Love Gyp’s PS We must have been on similar thought waves at about the same time when you wrote this. Check out my “Nature Boy”, which I posted last week.

You're right, Maestro...there are some things that even science cannot explain.

Well, here's a good little giggle! Ha ha ha! ! ! Regards, Gina. PS: where can I found out more about your 'Never have guessed' challenge? When are you going to announce the winner? How can I find out when you lay down such challenges?

I do like this... and have wondered often on things that are not printed in books. Though I think now, you can probably find all the answers on the internt... -Eila
