The Genuine Article

To rouse a nose the ruby rose
Releases redolent aromas.
Which seem to have the uncanny power
To lull women into comas.
Now they concentrate the distillate
Through chemical titration-
Place it into fancy bottles
And peddle it 'cross the nation.
None care at all for the forgotten bloom
They all prefer the fake perfume!
And so it is- or seems to be-
That while poems are made by fools like me-
You can make a fortune in perfumery!

Or you can refuse to sell out and remain a poor starving artist, n'est pas?

nothing like the real thing Sir Noir.

Your word play is so cool.

Loved the read, poet!

Keep at it, as you genuinely appear to have that consistent streak ;-)

Cheers

Thank you Tidespotter- Gratified you like the word play- For me words are like peanutbutter M&M's - I'm hopelessly addicted to both- the only difference being that, so far t least, I have not been able to empty the entire bag of words- alas- the same cannot be said of the M&M's - come to think of it- I think maybe I still have a bag way back in the back of the cupboard hiding behind the canned okra- must dash Tidespotter- the humt is on- Talley ho- and Yoiks and Away!
