Smells (Free verse) by the_poetess
The smell of soapy wet dog fur
is not pleasant in the least,
but it sure does beat the smell
of dirty, trash-digging dog.
Lysol has the ability to take
any smell and make it
even more pungent and nauseating
then it was seconds before.
There are some good
smells in life.
Like that of good food,
particularly Asian.
Though a nice lasagna or fresh pizza
smell, is hard to beat as well.
Fresh flowers, citrus fruit,
a dewy morning, all of these
smells can be quite tantalizing as well.
But the building that we spend
our lives in tend to smell more,
of mold then of dew, which is unfortunate
because musty air tends to make musty people.
The bad smell that takes the prize though,
the one that smells the absolute worst,
would have to be,
that of,
warm stinky dog breath.
