My Favorite Scents
(I tried to fashion the words a bit to the tune of “My Favorite Things”)
Roses and lavender; lilacs abloom;
Scent of these flowers also in perfume.
Old-time Chantilly and spicy Tabu -
These are a few of my favorite scents too.
Pizza and home-made bread straight from the oven;
Bacon and barbecue – Those smells I’m lovin’.
Cookies and pies, every bakery treat.
But popcorn’s the one that the others can’t beat!
Scent of cinnamon
or of licorice when it’s in my tea.
I love to inhale it, but better to eat some
because it’s so heavenly.
Christmas scents popular like evergreen.
Smells not so popular like gasoline.
Yes, I adore that one, and I like too
that smell from my childhood of Elmer’s glue!
Grilling hot dogs;
grilling burgers. Oh, I’d love it if
every day of my life I could take -
of each favorite scent - a whiff!!
