Warning
Inside everybody's nose
There lives a sharp-toothed snail.
So if you stick your finger in,
He may bite off your nail.
Stick it further up inside,
And he may bite your ring off.
Stick it all the way, and he
May bite the whole darn thing off.
- Shel Silverstein

haha it seems as if this poem was written specially to scare little children who love playing the boggie man by shoving their fingers up their nose and then running after unsuspecting victims.
Assalamualaikum. Yeah, Shel Silverstein is a clever writer.
