Cockeyed Susan CM

The man in the elevator smelled like cheese doodles 
he gave off a pungent odor, I nearly lost my noodle! 
Lifting his arm he scratched a Seborrheic greasy head 
so I plugged my nose, but something began to spread

Beside him I felt like a Cockeyed Susan with wobbly legs 
so I broke wind then cried, " OMG I think I ate rotten eggs! 
Through watery eyes he solemnly replied, " its Ok !"
I'm nose-blind anyway, heh lady, parler vous francais?

Well I didn't speak French but I couldn't stand the stench 
so in my best Russian accent I spoke deeply with a clench 
He asked me "what floor?"  just before I ran out the door 
for I was about to puke, and I couldn't take it anymore !
