The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

The Smelly Smoke

Scrubbing the surface to clear the scratches,
To remove the waste things and ugly flashes.
To keep room tidy to stack the things in place,
To care for ventilation to shinning a room face.

Spray the air-freshener and used perfume,
Washed up the clothes and put a side broom.
Clear the glasses and shine the photo frames,
Changed a new lamp shade for a nice gleam.

Curtains and wall paper matched with a colour,
Ceiling and surface has a laminated floor.
Replaced new paint on the window and the doors,
Sitting in a chair and watching tele in lore.

A fruit bowl was scenting sweetness in the Air,
A neighbour came and smoking Cigar what is fair?
I tried very hard to remove the smelly smoke,
I lost my weekend and it is hard to talk.
