The Stink

By kenp

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Mother in LawMy mother in law is really quite swellHer only problem is....well hellIt's her smell.An expert you would think she'd bewith a nose as big and long as me.She walks through a room and:Children cryPeople wiltAnimals howlPlants curlPaint peelsAll from that god awful smellthat remains there for all to seethroughout eternity.Enough is enough i say to meToday is a good day for thisstink to go away.Yes this that has plaguedus for oh so long, will soon, very soon, be gone.Sneaking quietly into the roomI hunt around and spot the perfume. Sitting there plain as dayAlmost, yes it is, laughing at me.Oozing out spreading it's plagueWith covered mouth, i begin the questof sealing this gruesome pest.Careful now, don't botch the job.Just enough glue to seal the cap on.Then it's done, eternally sealed.Whoopee!My glee is real.Now all is right with family,except the new smell ofStink 33.Where it came from, i can't tell,probably from hell.What i do know is perfectly clearAnother quest for me is near.
