Be glad your nose is on your face,not pasted on some other place,for if it were where it is not,you might dislike your nose a lot.Imagine if your precious nosewere sandwiched in between your toes,that clearly would not be a treat,for you'd be forced to smell your feet.Your nose would be a source of dreadwere it attached atop our head, it soonwoulddrive you to despair,forever tickled by your hair.Within your ear, your nose would bean absolute catastrophe,for when you were obliged to sneeze,your brain would rattle from the breeze.Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,remains between your eyes and chin,not pasted on some other place--be glad your nose is on your face!

Hyperbole: Your nose would be a source of dread were it attached atop our head, it soon would drive you to despair, forever tickled by your hair, the author probably use this because he wanted to emphasize the fact that the nose cannot be atop the head.

Metaphor: imagine your precious nose were
sandwiched in between toes,that clearly would not be a treat, The author agains wants to tell us that the nose is not suited to be between toes

Symbolism : Nose. To me, the nose actually represents us. The author is actually trying to tell us to be happy with what we have.

Why I like this poem: I like this poem because it tells us to be happy with what we have now and not go for far fetched ambitions as it could be catastrophic , but yet it tells us in a very humorous and it uses the nose , which is a body part, something that is part of us, it also tells me very clearly that if my nose was on another position, it would be disastrous, and at the last part of the poem it even says"Your nose, instead, through thick and thin,remains between your eyes and chin,not pasted on some other place--be glad your nose is on your face! " The poem tells things in a very light hearted manner, but yet has a very deep meaning. It does not tell things in a deep in boring way and thus I think it is a very interesting poem .
