Have you ever...
smelled a skunk
and backed up to smell it again?
picked a flower out of a
flowerbed just to smell it?
smelled your armpits
and then smelled them again?
opened a sealed perfume
to smell it at the store?
passed gas and stood
there looking around?

Enjoyable and entertaining! Love the title! All stanzas about reactions to the sense of smell, then the concluding one--no mention of smell, just "looking around" (with the old 'I DO wonder where that awful smell is coming from!' expression)

This was great! Lots of people have chosen to do such serious topics, it's great to find someone doing something lighter with much. Thank you
