Fire crackle
Its November
an extant season at last
The mirror always distorts the truth
A young body within an sageful mind
Banish those unemigatic days
Make a beeline for your future days
There's nothing quite as inviting as
the smell of some good ol' home sweet home cookin'...
especially your favorite meal being prepared!
That aroma of well-seasoned soul food
being cooked by your significant other
who knows his or her way around the kitchen...
Doesn't it smell better than any fragrance
you've ever worn or whiffed? Doesn't your hunger
intensify exponentially as you walk in?
Those spices! Oh, those spices!
"Something smells delish! Honey, is food ready!?"
[your thought bubble]
Doesn't your mouth start watering then?
You feel the urge to make a beeline for the kitchen
To sample a morsel of yummy deliciousness
And you're likely to come back...
like Oliver Twist wanting...
some more? Well, maybe.
