When I got my finger stuck up my nose <br />I went to a doctor, who said, <br />"Nothing like this has happened before, <br />We will have to chop off your head." <br /> <br />"It's only my finger stuck up my nose, <br />It's only my finger!" I said. <br />"I see what it is," the doctor replied, <br />"But we'll still have to chop off your head." <br /> <br />He went to the cabinet and took out an axe. <br />I watched with considerable dread. <br />"But it's only my finger stuck up my nose. <br />It's only a finger!" I said. <br /> <br />"Perhaps we can yank it out with a hook <br />Tied to some surgical thread. <br />Maybe we can try that," he replied <br />"Rather than chop off your head." <br /> <br />"I'm never going to pick it again. <br />I've now learned my lesson," I said. <br />"I won't stick my finger up my nose - <br />I'll stick it in my ear instead."<br /><br />Brian Patten<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-day-i-got-my-finger-stuck-up-my-nose/
