***
There are lovely fragrances filling the air
But then there are others that may curl your hair
Those often occur when you do least expect
Leaving you wondering just WHO to suspect
Your schnoz, your snoot, your sniffer, your snout
Throw open the door – and let it air out
There ARE situations that always smell bad
Like bathrooms and sewers and even your dad!
Your pets are a source of stinky delights
Not to mention leaving a few gruesome sights
There are puddles and piles in every direction
There are even surprises, avoiding detection!
All cats like to spray, and all dogs like to poop
That means you get to scrub, and you get to scoop!
Your brand new carpet – furry friends will defile
They couldn’t care less if they are ruining your style
Silent but deadly describes a dog’s gas
Just a quick whiff and your whole life will pass
In front of your eyes, as you snort and you choke
Afraid you might die as you try not to croak!
The biggest offender can be the cat litter
Your feline turns out to be one stinky critter
The odor of cat pee will give you a fit
If they pee in your chair – it’s right where you sit!
The toilet blew up, and the gunk overflowed
You have to take charge. You’re in full plumber mode
The fumes are awful, but you cannot fall BACK
Just pull up your pants so you don’t show your (NOOOO!)
The commode, the pot, and even the throne
What’s lurking inside? A NO breathing zone!
Public restroom is a waiting disaster
Cover your nose as you try to GO faster
A cute little baby is precious and sweet
But it is amazing what they can excrete!
When they fill their diapers, it’s like they explode
How can something so tiny drop such a BIG load!
Nothing is worse than a smelly surprise
The kind that can sting and burn both of your eyes
Obnoxious aromas are just part of life
Because –
Husbands are gassy! You can ask any wife!!
