"they made a statue of us / our noses have begun to rust"

Poems Walt Whitman needs to have written:

"When Whitman Last in the Dooryard Sneezed"
"O Claritin! My Claritin!"
"I Hear America Sniffling"
"Song of My Nose"

Further suggestions welcome in comments.

"A Noisy Impatient Nose" leaps to mind. :o)

Out of the nostril endlessly running.

[larryhammer]

Heeeeee.


OUT of the nostril endlessly running,
Out of the mucus-filled throat, the unmusical rattle,
Out of the Spring-sprung sinus,
Over the fertile beds, and the fields beyond, where the snot, leaving its nose, splatter’d alone, bare-loogied, barehawked,
Down from the shower’d tissue ...

(I'd always assumed I'd use this one for a post with a rather different topic, but it worked too well for this one to pass it up.)
