Miss Etticoat (Posted on 2006-10-06)

Little miss Etticoat,
In a white petticoat,
And with a red nose.
The longer she stands,
The shorter she grows.

Who or What is she?

First thought was candle - but flame is on top not in nose position

Second thought was snow (wo)man - but tradition is a carrot (orange in colour) for a nose
