Incense

In the Real Estate section, A question arose About incense within your abode. Certain buildings have rules That prohibit its use And the writer was set to explode. If some candles are lit For the Sabbath by some, Why can’t she light her incense as well? Her religion requires That incense is burned But the difference, to me, is the smell. With most incense, the scent Is intense and, to me, Has an odor with little appeal, Which can drift down the hallways That many do share Which may impact the way people feel. Yet the candles she cited Have no scent at all So the answer I would have dispensed Was comparing the two Isn’t fair, so it’s wrong Over incense to be so incensed.
