New salivary gland's found
At the back of the nose.



TUBARIAL GLANDS

For those of you
Who didn't know
They found a organ
At the the back
Of the nose

An important one
So it seems
It keeps our mouth
moist whilst we dream

When I was young,
The doctors had reasons.
To muck about, I had
my tonsils and my
adenoids taken out.

Seems they did something,
As they snipped away.
That made the glands go south,
Which to me explains why.
Each night that I wake,
I suffer from having a dry mouth.

Mmm... I had an operation on one of my vocal cords and have the same. It is probably the introduction of a foreign body that changes what Nature created do you think? Nicely explained, Alan.
