Nose hairs...what is their purpose?
I was wondering
I discovered, after some reading
and pondering

nose hairs...
trap the boogers in your nose
by a medical encyclopedia, I was told
especially when you have a cold

nose hairs...
are filters to keep your face dry
when your nose starts to run
or when you cry

nose hairs...
look so ugly,
if you scoff
go get a scissors
and cut em off

Lyra,
See now...some things are better left alone. I suppose next it will be ear hairs or maybe eyebrows or ...Oh, sorry I'm showing my age. I gotta go now...

Lyra - The famous Nose Hairs poem.  I finally got a chance to read it.  Very informative.lol  Thanks for the laugh.  You have inspired me to trim some of my nose hairs.

Thanks for the reply, Larry.  You might not believe this, but the companion piece to this one is called "Ear Hairs".  I wrote these some time ago, and if I can dig it up, I'll post it.

Thanks Dave, but I thought you were too young to have nose hairs....only old people get those.....only kidding!
I think that even babies have them.
Glad you finally got to read the poem, though!

He he he......Oh, so that's what they are for?  I hate nose hairs, nasty things.  Great poem, I enjoyed it!
