Too Much Perfume

Too Much Perfume

© by Bud Lemire on Sept 6, 2015

Just a dab will do you

Don't need to bathe in it too

The smell is way too strong

The scent leaves an aroma too long

In my apartment, it is there

It's for you, not to share

We may not like what you wear there

Especially when the smell is everywhere

Take a shower with water and soap

Perfume too strong is hard for us to cope

We smell it every time you go by

In our apartment, so you should try

To you, here is my advice

Much less perfume would be nice

Cleaning fluid and flowers mixed together

Is a terrible gagging smell of displeasure

Your perfume is not what I want to wear

It's all over, a disgusting smell in the air

I'd love to be able to smell the clean fresh air

Without the smell of your perfume everywhere

Just as we don't always like the same foods, it's

the same with what we smell. The smell wouldn't

be as bad, but it is way too strong. You truly don't

need to take a bath in it. Just a little dab is enough.

I'd almost prefer the stink of perspiration over that

strong disgusting smell of perfume that smells like

cleaning detergent mixed with flowers. It sets my

gag reflex into action, and when I am eating, I can't

taste my food. It just flows into my apartment and

even the open window won't get rid of it easy. C'mon, is

your nose so bad you can't smell how much you

are putting on. Disgusting!
