Different Sense

Bacon sizzling in a pan The aroma makes one hungry The smell of cooking anywhere Enjoyed by all and sundry Tarmacadam on the road A very pungent smell Not everyone likes it To most, it smells like Hell Freshly mowed lawns Have a perfume that delights All the scents of nature Are those that excite Perfumed gardens are amazing Where colours and scents combine All perfumed naturally Beautiful and sublime Why do we need a product? Manufactured commercially When all the most exotic bouquets Come from nature, and they're free If you read this poem I really must confess It wasn't my intention To enter this contest I love the scent of most flowers Not just one or two My nostrils enjoy other scents That they relish too.

Hi Shirley. Those natural scents are sensual. But have no profit potential. So man invents nice fragrant sprays. And corrupts minds to floral ways. Best wishes. Tony.

Thank you, Jan. I did not know I had won until I received your kind comments and congratulations. It was a lovely surprise... Natural aroma's are always best aren't they... I hope all is as well as can be with you and yours. Take care... Shirley

As one of the six senses, one can't help but wonder why Coco Chanel did not bottle a cheese perfume .......Aloha! Rico

G'Day Rico! I agree, four of the senses come into play with cheese... Sight Touch Taste and Smell, Gorgonzola for example....
