A Poem By Any Other Name

A Poem by Any Other Name…Should Smell Like a Poem
I ran out of time to post my lines. So, as I compose I hold my nose. Acrid alliteratives, malodorous odes, musty metaphors, putrid pantoums, reeking rhymes, stinky stanzas, smelly sagas, obfuscate our olfactory organs. So, as you read this poem pour a stiff bourbon and do your postmortem!

Bottoms up, bud! ~ Here's to evanescence, ephemerality, entropy,... not to mention loss of innocence and the asphyxiation of life in a small town. ~ Thebes, aka 'Themes,' when I dode have a code in da dose

Well, Oliver, I'd say this poem certainly "reeks" of one. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Yes it does. I hope you had a shot of bourbon or other adult beverage to read this:) Thanks
