Means the 'nose' . . .


Poem Artwork


 
 
  Occurs primarily in Africa and India
Symptoms include irritability, runny
stick-your-nose-in somebody else's
business, thick-skinned-ness where
sticks and stones will not break any
bones, but still managed to get itself
on the endangered species list; and
someday the only place you'll ever
see them will be stuffed and on
permanent display in some cities
museum; to whom curators won't
even dust, and of course the rhinos
will be hornless, as their adornments
will have wound-up in soup, or to help
someone else get 'horny'; but who the
hell really cares; especially nature's
true king of beasts, the elephant, for
there won't be anymore bickering at
the old watering hole; yeah right, for
we all know that the only place you'll
see the old pachyderms will be in
some jewelry store window on the
main drag in a city's downtown window.
So, the next time you pick-up a little cold,
quit your whining, and don't blame the
perissodactyl mammal for your symptoms
commonly referred to as the Rhino Virus!

'2008' RLS

That's what happens when you stick your nose in someone else's business - you always get the runs afterwards.

Great metaphorical write, Robeert!!! and cleverly presented!!!

Gotta love it, and I agree, the elephant is THE king of beasts, plus they have super intelligence, not like quite a few humans I have come into contact with . . .

Oh those dear rhino's taking so much blame...when its bugs, just little bugs unneath a microscope that's to blame...How sweet those Rhino's are. Great write on not blaming others or things for what is an act of nature. Love and hugs, Bonnie
