a fragrance wafted in the air
down the cellar,up the stair
the fragrance wafted through the house
perceived by human,cat, and mouse
it hung around then,burning eyes
the children cringed,i heard their cries
then mom came in ,with lysol armed
to do battle with ,the scent that harmed
she sprayed the air,the bad smell parted
i blamed the dog..." 'TWAS HE THAT FARTED!"
"would i lie to you?......."
