Nefarious Romance

Her name was Liza Jane Macnelly,
She loved Anchovies and jelly,
“She’s a wonderful girl,
said her boyfriend Earl,
But her breath is a little bit smelly”.

His name was Billy Joe Trevy,
He had no A/C in his Chevy,
“It’s  such a nefarious pain” ,
said his girlfriend Jane, 
Because he perspires a bit too heavy”.

But they both loved each other so well,
That they accepted each other’s smell,
The moral of the story here?
There is none, I fear.
Them folks both simply just smell like hell !

I do sometimes laugh at the absurdity of peoples efforts to smell nice..after all we are even made from (clay,) there is actually a trace element in our dna i am told..i wonder if our spirits will smell Robert? and will God let us in if they do?

Dear Lord, this is hysterical, Rob. Whatever you had for dinner, can I have some too? Hope you'll write something for my contest. No rush. Most of the entries I've received have been funny. And old fish "smell like he.." as well! Love, Carolyn
