The scent of cooking fish, by far...
would launch me to the nearest star.
I'd run or stagger out the door
and would return? NO! Nevermore.
If on the walls, you could paint mold,
the house would never, 'er be sold.
And playing music, really vile
would send them running, for awhile.
If your place looks like a mess,
visitors will then confess
that they didn't like the feeling
and your place will send them reeling.
Dress yourself, aye, like a bum
and sit about and suck your thumb
so folks will think you must be mad
and then they'll leave and you'll be glad.

Thanks ever so much for helping me out here.
Shall check the local hardware store for a pot or two of mouldy paint
Perhaps one of those fake pukes in a corner would blend in well with it
I wish you well come time to judge
