Notes About The Poem
Created for "The Worst Verse In The Universe" grand slam poetry contest.

Air Freshener

Closing my eyes I pull the lever
With little much ado.
Turning the head of any cynical non-believer 
Of this magical, misty hue.
Droplets land like paratroopers
Scattered from the sky
The ultimate odorous partypoopers -
The Nasals ally.
They capture and detain
Attempting to entrench
Inflicting no pain but plenty of strain 
Rupturing the spleen of stench. 
All of the sudden the pleasant aroma of must,
Of pets, of winds a-breaking
Vanish without a trace by the airy eerie dust
Of Fabreze Spring Awakening!
