Oh for smelling when lavender’s in bloom
or sweet roses and their pretty perfume.
Chantilly I love to have a whiff of.
Tabu is so sexy – a fragrance I love.
Bread in the oven is so nice to smell
And buttery popcorn at movies as well.
Smelling lasagna and pizza – the zest!
but smelling meat grilling has to be best!
Scents of nostalgia are Halloween treats
and Mom’s Christmas baking of many sweets.
Oh, that fresh smell of pine and evergreen!
But the strangest smell I like is gasoline!

(I tried to fashion the words a bit to the tune of “My Favorite Things”)
Roses and lavender; lilacs abloom;
Scent of these flowers also in perfume.
Old-time Chantilly and spicy Tabu -
These are a few of my favorite scents too.
Pizza and home-made bread straight from the oven;
Bacon and barbecue – Those smells I’m lovin’.
Cookies and pies, every bakery treat.
But popcorn’s the one that the others can’t beat!
Scent of cinnamon
or of licorice when it’s in my tea.
I love to inhale it, but better to eat some
because it’s so heavenly.
Christmas scents popular like evergreen.
Smells not so popular like gasoline.
Yes, I adore that one, and I like too
that smell from my childhood of Elmer’s glue!
Grilling hot dogs;
grilling burgers. Oh, I’d love it if
every day of my life I could take -
of each favorite scent - a whiff!!

Succulent tabu
Not meant from the start.
But attraction, too great,
Played its role well.
And found our eyes
-as fast as it found our hearts.
It did away with my defenses
Working its way through me
I had no chance-no choice!
I succumbed to this fatal
attraction
Losing complete control
I grasped the face of
forbbidence
And kissed its sweet lips.
I showed no mercy
For Attraction did not.
Forbidden Attraction was born a
secret.

A faded old passport, withered and torn a picture of a infant child of three
The faded old passport that was once was green happy and alive hope not dispirited
nothing more than a dark past.It is tabu one must never talk about those things.
Musty old papers never seeing the light of day tucked away in a rugged old suitcase.
Memories of dismayed,family history knowledge of your peoples past, knowledge of the
green card blues.The green card now has turned yellow crumbling like powder dust an
immigrants fate,immigrants from Spain entrusted upon those documents the green card
blues
