A ladybug landed on my nose today
So startled was I
Wasn't sure what to say

So I crossed my eyes
The better to see
This wee little creature
Staring back at me

Well...hello there how do you do
Are you looking for someone
Or just passing through?

I was following my friends
They've gone to your garden
But I needed to rest
So I beg your pardon

For disturing your nap
For making you lurch
But this huge protrusion
Seemed a fine place to perch

It's called my nose
A fine one indeed
You may rest at your leisure
As long as you need

That's quite a kind offer
But I must get there in haste
Could you give me a send-off
I've no time to waste

What could I do?....
Not a thump nor a swat
It had to be quick
But a thought I had naught

Then right out of nowhere
Came a strong breeze
Bringing swirls of pollen...
I was feeling a sneeze

This might be it !
From my nose she would launch
Right to the garden
In time for their brunch

A gasp and a shudder
An ahhh and an ooooh
She was lifted in flight
With my mighty cah-CHOOO!

Good-bye my friend
I wish you God speed
It's been so nice to nose you
Sooo nice indeed
