Spaghetti Nose

My father was a very hard worker, and sometimes very stern. When he sat at the table to eat, we often waited to adjust to his various moods. One day as our family ate silently, Dad sneezed whilst eating a plate of Mum's finest spaghetti bolognaise. This poem in based on that story. We watched shocked at the results, but once Dad started laughing and pulling spaghetti out of his nostrils, the whole family lost it hysterically. What a memory.
