Just Follow Your Nose (Basset-Hound-Themed Children's Poem)

Just follow your nose,
You’ll never know where it goes!
It may capture fragrant roses
Or gag at smelly, crusty toes!

Just follow your nose,
But beware, It may get you
covered in flour!
Or discovering discarded goodies
in the midnight hour!

Just follow your nose!
Even when you dream,
Chasing magical unicorns
And guarding the fairest
Of Kings and Queens!

Just follow your nose,
You’ll never know where it goes!
It may take you far, far
Away from home!
To mountains, snowy and high,
And deserts, far and wide!
Maybe even a French-made Statue
Or a French-made Tower!

Just follow your nose,
And oh what a life
This can be!
You may arrest criminals and foes
Or go to school
and earn a film or medical degree!

Just follow your nose,
And always know
Even if you can’t see
Or hear your friends
and family.
Their love they always send,
whether with pictures and words
Or cake and ice cream!

If you find yourself stuck
Or down on your luck,
Always remember:
Just follow your nose!
You’ll never know where it goes!
