Noses Run In Any One
Fingers snap in any chap
as do shins and bones.
It is often verbum-sap until grunts and groans.
Noggins ache in any fake
as do tricks and scams.
It is often double-take until snags and jams.
Spirits soar in any lore
as do yarns and tales.
It is often letters-four until teeth and nails.
Bellies churn in any turn
as do twists and spins.
It is often stem-to-stern until laughs and grins.
Egos puff in any bluff
as do feints and lies.
It is often off-the-cuff until forms and size.
Noses run in any one
as do coughs and colds.
It is often all-or-none until wets and molds.
