Ah, the fragrant fumes of paint drying on a picket fence
followed by the grease-stained smell of turpentine on the brush
Though doubtless matched by the aroma of oil spills gracing
a service station’s garage floor
These pungent memories of childhood, wiped clean today
by vastly improved technology, yet linger with me

hubby in land phone,
pungent smell of betrayal :
me picked extension.

Pure pungent pain
Rude ripples rain
Feel fertile fear
Niche nothing near
Lazy leaks loud
Prize profound proud
Mad moments make
Time tells true take
Pungent proud poise
Nude naked noise
Grand glitzy grease
Tough tempers tease
Loud lavish lot
Pride pickles plot
Nudge nasty nude
Craft chatter crude
Dirt dazzles dirt
Hurts hustles hurt
Purge pungent play
Ditch dreary day
Keep keeper kind
Meet mystic mind
Joy jumpstarts jest
Face funny fest
Set simple style
Stream succinct smiles
Wise willing ways
Speak sparkling say

Hubby in land phone.
Peculiar weird stinking smell
I sensed, most pungent.
I picked up the extension
to overhear betrayal.

Weary this world where dirt flings stain.
Dreary the swirl in crude terrain.
Pain seeps through stuff to corrode zest,
Troubles make rough to cancel fest.
Strange is the way of tempest found,
Fear speaks to say with empty sounds.
Hope floods to purge the lonely dark,
Love funds the urge to light a spark.
Easy finds fit with modest grain,
Feel cheery wit edge out odd pain.
Pungent the taste of lousy feel,
Forfeit the haste and live goodwill.
And in these times of empty talk,
Listen for rhymes that joy feeds walk.
End abrupt here with smiles that warm,
Depend on cheer to flesh true form.

We will not let this rest
We have only been wounded
We will heal and become stronger
Then we will defeat our enemy
We will stand together
Fight with honor and courage
We are warriors that will survive
To take our place
With the Gods of the past
Prepare for a mighty battle
Tonight eat and drink
Be loving to your family
Sleep and dream of triumph
For the coming first light
We will be steadfast
Too our Victory
Remember why we fight
For those who braved before us
They now look down upon us
Holding the light to the path
For us to pungent our rivals
Away from our honorable and deserved
Place in the sky
We will rejoice
This time they will not forget
