He Follows His Nose

He recognized a sophisticated scent Someone elegant and extravagant is about This is a fragrance a poor woman cannot afford She was pink and plush, wearing feathers Beautiful sky blue eyes that had startled the other suiters away He began to make his move; recognizing her now She had once upon a time been married to his cousin, the luckiest man in the world When she looked up and smiled at him, he remembered the last time he had smelled this rich perfume. He was hoping to smell it again and again, up close and personal.
