Oh! De Cologne!! for RDP, Oct 2, 2024

Oh! De Cologne!!!

Certainly, you never meant
when you walked out,
to leave your scent
behind you like a noxious cloud.
Since  air pollution’s not allowed,
you must admit that you’ve been rude
to leave your perfume thickly strewed
throughout the room as you skedaddled,
leaving us gasping and rattled,
coughing, nauseous, choking, sneezing,
rendered helpless in our wheezing.
Next  time you visit,
please heed this poem
and leave your perfume cloud
at home!!!

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      Haa..were you the one who commented I never did selfies? My friend Brad wanted to do so and he took one photo.. so I reached up and took a dozen of us..I cut him off of this one to use it for the perfume poem. I’ll put up the ones of us together later..Never let it be said I don’t respond to suggestion.

    I want to print this in big letters and hang it up at work! People without allergies or asthma just do not understand how long that we, who suffer from allergies and asthma, are affected by that aromatic cloud left behind in their wake. Your words express my thoughts clearly!

      I was once on a cross-Atlantic Air India flight and one of the stewardesses had on so much perfume that it was an agony for me..They’d even go down the aisle spraying it in the air. No more Air India for me!
