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!!!

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!

You have my permission to do so. Perfume is forbidden in libraries a town i lived in in California. Good rule.

Thank you! I work in a medical office where perfume is supposed to be a no-no, but… it’s hard for some people to understand. I get it!

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!

In the past, strong perfume could trigger migraines for me. Just cannot bear it. I can’t even bear scented lotions….or coconut oil, the worst.
