I have been humming Jessica Amanda Salmonson’s The Wah Oo Song all day. Go read it, and you will too!
I heard the Wah-oo
Callin out my name
Evryting’s new
Nuttin be da same
Wah-oo, wah-oo
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo
Wah-oo, wah-oo
Callin out to you
You’ll be in a crowd
Singin it out loud
They’ll do it too
Sing it back to you
Wah-oo, wah-oo
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo
Wah-oo, wah-oh
Now we gotta go

A sheet, sheet, sheet.
Ah-ooo, ah-ooo,
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo.

Words escape me, Away they go,
Where they go to, I don't know.
Flying off to pastures new
Until they are completely out of view.

Moon oo dear moon, welcome us
Distance to moon is becoming shorter and shorter
NASA, space x or ISGO feeling hotter
My Dreams of moon, now on moon Increase my luck I will come soon
Moon oo dear moon, greet us
Never in plane never seen a rocket Days are changing I register for you With a preasent in my pocket
Is it ok, if I believe on myself
I will come there if you help me half
Moon oo dear moon, I am coming
If not in 2023 but every night
Thanks to yusaku maezawa
For adding one more dream, And hope
Moon oo dear moon...

It's hard for me to concentrate,
I'm really not sure why.
I'm always forgetting something,
no matter how I try.
It's actually quite annoying since -
it's hard to get things done.
And I find I can't do simple math,
without sticking out my tongue.

I’d hate to be a pachyderm,
My schnozzle such a wacky worm
That though I willed it slack or firm,
Each sneeze would really pack a squirm!

We’d gag as we whizzed through the town
if someone rolled the window down.
It was a most offensive smell
and a persistent smog as well.
Committees formed, complaints were made
and rules and regulations laid
upon the owners big oak desk,
to obey rules or face the risk
of paying a most hefty fine.
I was glad that mill wasn’t mine.
Miill closes down and cleanups start.
Hundreds of folks wtih a sad heart.
Wage-earners paid the massive price,
but now the town smells very nice.
Won a third place in odor contest.

If in an apartment you may dwell,
You’ll be attuned to every smell
That wafts inside the elevator
Left by every perpetrator:
The ultra-perfumed female suit,
The lure of which is in dispute.
The dog walk guy with clothes that reek;
They stay unwashed from week to week.
The up-close spicy onion breath –
Oh, grant me liberty or death!
I rein in my disgusted shiver
When someone’s sautéing liver.
Still, I’ll cope with every smell
‘Cause not a one could quite compel
Me to (despite what I abhor)
Walk up and down from the ninth floor!

I lean into the fridge to get a bite to eat.
And as my nose attests to,it doesn't smell too sweet!
I'm trying to decipher what that is in that dish.
And much to my dismay,it's month-old tuna fish!
There's odd assorted bowls of only God knows what.
They've been pushed to the back and hidden there by glut.
I'm so mad at myself for letting it go this far.
I even found I'm cleaning out an empty pickle jar!
Potatoes growing fur and other nasty things.
Moldy bread,soured milk,and dried up chicken wings.
The nose knows that I should learn to fix just what I need.
Cos' leftovers land in the ozone,of this I must take heed!

Such a handsome, rugged man I met
Saw his photo on the Internet
He drove a hundred miles
So we could exchange smiles
Just one kiss, I was caught in his net
His cigar smoke wafted with the breeze
But once indoors, I began to sneeze
My eyes started to tear
Sore throat I could not clear
Now I hear him snoring as I wheeze
His drinking is really not so bad
But my lungs suffer more than a tad
Each time he lights one up
I don a filter cup
To enjoy the pure air I once had

It's not impossible that my house stink.
At times there festers garbage in a sack
behind a closet door, and once the sink
got clogged with who-knows-what; sent water back
up filthy and all black; I dished it out
scoop by nasty scoop into a pan.
That damn disposal broke. There was no doubt
my kitchen reeked, so I turned on a fan
and dropped some baking soda in the drain
(I'd heard it stopped most odors), but the worst
came next: a stench which I could not explain.
I searched my rooms. Six days my house was cursed
until I found it dead and hidden well -
a mouse I bet inhaled the kitchen's smell!
(true story but a little exaggerated!)

Small meow I hear
A smell coming underneath
I see movement in the dark
I saw the kitten
The odor was offensive
Wanted to pass out, didn’t
She purred so slightly
I picked her up to see her
Then the smell nearly smacked me
She stunk so, so bad
I took her home to bathe her
So she won’t offend again

I may be an *******
and what makes this contest so hard for me
is I don't know if it stinks worse than it shrieks sirens
or shrieks more than it stinks compost.
Dilemma unresolved.
Thanks for listening.
