''Das Nasobēm'', usually translated into English as ''The Nasobame'', is a short nonsense poem by German writer Christian Morgenstern (1871–1914). It was written around 1895 and published in his book ''Galgenlieder'' (1905).〔 Christian Morgenstern (1905): ''Galgenlieder''. Bruno Cassirer Verlag, Berlin. 〕 This poem is notable for, among other things, having inspired zoologist Gerolf Steiner to write in 1961 an extremely popular mock-scientific treatise on the fictitious animal order of the Rhinogradentia, also called "nasobames" or "snouters", whose nasal appendages had evolved in many amazing ways.〔Harald Stümpke (Steiner ) (1967): ''The Snouters: Form and Life of the Rhinogrades''. Translated by Leigh Chadwick. The University of Chicago Press. 〕 Poetic translations of this poem (by Robert Weill - French, G.G. Simpson - English and L. Chadwick - English) can be found in his 1988 sequel .〔Karl D.S. Geeste (Steiner ) (1988): ''Stümpke's Rhinogradentia: Versuch einer Analyse''.
