Scented Scoundrel

“I weep at his words and you scowl.” “what could be so troublesome my dear that reading such, you’d shed a tear?” “He writes of love quite flowery sly hints about my dowry. “Of a love he lost in the distant gloom.” “of love notes tinged with another's perfume.” .

beware of scented scoundrels...they destroy the hope of love. A unique creation that I rather enjoyed. Have a great evening.

I wound never make light of a poem concerned with lost love or the reason for it. But my thought came to rest on another scoundrel~ Pepe le Pew. He was a real stinker, too.
