"Being me has its privileges"--Dumbledore
**********

They haven't got no noses,
The fallen sons of Eve;
Even the smell of roses
Is not what they supposes;
But more than mind discloses
And more than men believe. 

And Quoodle here discloses
All things that Quoodle can,
They haven't got no noses,
And goodness only knowses
The Noselessness of Man.
--from "The Song of Quoodle" by GK Chesterton.
