Breath Chant - Mint for Me (parody for johnnyblaze)

Honey bee
light on your wings    
Breath-chant - Mint for me  
Garlic Pot Pie  
admit defeat      
        
Now look for a mint...  
You too, Johnny Dent    
After meal spent      
Breath challenges our fun        
because garlic    
is smelly to eat      
      
while all the mints  
are hardly butterscotchin'        
like, don't breath on me, brush tongue    
Heartburn backflows the meat    
on ya breath - target it  
yanno?        
      
I thought so.        
      
What's that on yer bread?        
      
Onion breath kills      
Would you take two mints, instead?  
stink kills, gas station style        
when not in-yo-face to faces        
on Main Street - 8 mile        
Hails with unseen menaces -        
seasoned sliders you toasted        
while Instagram n Facebook -        
can't smell onions roasted    
making no scent,  they'd be shook;        
Pictures have no smells        
Breath still an enemy though    
You pop your mints post-cheese      
      
L - M - F - A - OH, PLEASE!        
      
Just another solemn request      
From a handy honey bee        
with a sweet candy cane      
of my appointed treats      
Candy rings kissed        
by smelly teeth    
riddled with disease        
subscribing to their own        
halitosis treat  
rhetorical, glorifying        
sugary crystal things    
xylitol the best    
to get to the bottom of it...  
      
Much cleaner breath!    
      
far from smell-hellish  
these days - candy eating    
   
candies so original    
might as well be        
marshmallow feathers    
wholely consequential -        
daily matters we        
could care more about:        
expired dairy products        
in the gut you        
shoulda blew out        
weeks ago;        
who gives two fucks        
as you cry over bills      
for hard candy;  
curdled breath    
beyond sour cream        
      
Be bold        
      
be MLK;        
      
declare to the nation:        
      
"I have a mint creme!"        
      
Don't be some        
gimmicky        
mimicky        
mint eater with a breathy meme        
covering up every contextual        
Stink-spot in your lips' middle        
But pop mints if you will...  
For garlic seasoned food
and the like
        
      
^Diss^
