A fine nose can detect a smell
from far as well as near.
Who knows what this sense then does tell
the brain, to fight or fear?
I never saw a cow in flight,
they mostly stand and stare.
Does this mean that they are not bright
or that they just don’t care?
The human nose does not provide
us with a refined notion,
but our brains must still decide
to follow one emotion.
As being nosy is no way
to know who’s friend or foe,
it takes much more for us to say
it’s go or not to go.
