Nosy Parker

Nosy parker always knows
Who comes whence and whither goes
I fear ‘t will come at least to blows
For that nasty inquisitive nose.

Nosy Parker has an itch
To ask me what and why and which,
I’ve half a mind to give a twitch
To that snooping, sinuous snitch.

Nosy Parker takes a peek
At what I do and how I speak:
He’ll get a mighty painful tweak
Upon that beastly, ubiquitous beak.                                                        

Nosy parker finds it out
And quickly spreads it all about:
Let him take care: I’ll land a clout
Upon that sneaky, soniferous snout                                                                 

I’ve hinted to nosy- ever so tactfully,
Should he prove to suggestion a trifle refractory?                             
I’ve got in reserve a jolly great whack for the
Prying, protuberant organ olfactory.
