The Nose Out of Joint.Oh! a comical thing is a nose out of joint!There is a wee chapWho met this mishap;He looked very glum,And grew almost dumb;Then he stood in a corner to pout,No doubt,Decidedly hurt and put out.Oh! the innocent cause of a nose out of joint!He tried to appearIn excellent cheer.In one eye a smile,A tear all the whileIn the other, led one to believe,And grieve,That clearly he tried to deceive!Oh! the innocent cause of the nose out of joint!Ten pink little toes,A wee, funny nose,And eyes, bright and new,Of robin’s egg blue,And up-stairs in a soft cradle-nest,At rest,With tiniest hands on its breast!Oh! the wonderful cure of a nose out of joint!A mother’s fond call,A gentle footfall;A sweet word of joy,A kiss for her boy,And a shy little brotherly peep,And deepSpring, love for the baby asleep.—George Cooper.

Oh! a comical thing is a nose out of joint!
There is a wee chap
Who met this mishap;
He looked very glum,
And grew almost dumb;
Then he stood in a corner to pout,
No doubt,
Decidedly hurt and put out.
Oh! the innocent cause of a nose out of joint!He tried to appearIn excellent cheer.In one eye a smile,A tear all the whileIn the other, led one to believe,And grieve,That clearly he tried to deceive!
Oh! the innocent cause of a nose out of joint!
He tried to appear
In excellent cheer.
In one eye a smile,
A tear all the while
In the other, led one to believe,
And grieve,
That clearly he tried to deceive!
Oh! the innocent cause of the nose out of joint!Ten pink little toes,A wee, funny nose,And eyes, bright and new,Of robin’s egg blue,And up-stairs in a soft cradle-nest,At rest,With tiniest hands on its breast!
Oh! the innocent cause of the nose out of joint!
Ten pink little toes,
A wee, funny nose,
And eyes, bright and new,
Of robin’s egg blue,
And up-stairs in a soft cradle-nest,
At rest,
With tiniest hands on its breast!
Oh! the wonderful cure of a nose out of joint!A mother’s fond call,A gentle footfall;A sweet word of joy,A kiss for her boy,And a shy little brotherly peep,And deepSpring, love for the baby asleep.—George Cooper.
Oh! the wonderful cure of a nose out of joint!
A mother’s fond call,
A gentle footfall;
A sweet word of joy,
A kiss for her boy,
And a shy little brotherly peep,
And deep
Spring, love for the baby asleep.
