Nose Hairs (in the style of Ogden Nash)

My youthful nose was quite uncomplicaytould
All my nasal troubles could be blown out
There were exceptions, I recall, but they could
privately be pushed or pinched or thrown out
But now an underbrush wants to erupthere
Resisting all attempts at proper shearing
I play the clown by sticking scissors upthere
Still they can't be kept from reappearing
I walk around ashamed, as if insulthood
Nose hairs are a symbol of adulthood
