Vicks Vapor Rub If You Please
Vicks Vapor Rub is my most favorite scent.
If it was tasty, I would eat it,
so it could seep out of my pores as I slept.
I love the menthol of it;
I love the comfort of it.
I love it up one side and down the other.
Vicks Vapor Rub reminds me of my childhood
My mom would rub this on our chests,
Our backs, our necks, nightly in the winter time.
Our furnace was always turned way down,
to save money, so Vicks Vapor Rub warmed us up.
It reminds me of oatmeal, and cigarette smoke
and other smells of my mother.
