I don’t suppose

there is a nose

more famous than

Pinocchio’s.

 

His snozzle shows

by how it grows,

he’s telling lies.

This tale arose

 

to caution those

whose porkies pose

a future full

of direst woes.

 

So why the nose

and not the toes?

The story tells

us how it goes:

 

Each whopper shows

upon the nose

for all to see;

the whole world knows.
