Analysis of My Poking Nose
Beware of my seemingly innocent countenance,
It may deceive you, but those who have witnessed it,
will always remember, the difficulty they faced,
not due to my proboscis (nose) ,
but because it intrudes in everyone's business,
be cautious and beware. I cannot recall when it began,
but it has persisted since then,
no subject or individual has escaped my sense of smell,
I am certain that my nose possesses a power,
that all substances are drawn towards it.
Initially I was embarrassed, but now I am used to it,
and I feel regretful for those who have;
encountered my intrusive nose,
my close acquaintances are familiar, but for others,
their initial encounter will be challenging and uneasy.
Are you reminded of Pinocchio's nose or
Amitabh Bachchan's nose? Absolutely not, one thing is certain,
there is no substance that my nose has not detected,
It has a magnetic pull that draws all things, and as a result,
I have faced many uninvited problems -
that chase me relentlessly, once I attempted to rid myself of it,
but all my efforts were in vain, and wherever I went,
it attracted their difficulties and placed me in danger.
Now I live in seclusion, In a distant place,
maintaining a safe distance from all sorts of trouble,
hoping that this lengthy nose will forget the art of intrusion.
