A Smell For Everything! Poem by Ramesh T A

Smell of fruits entices to enjoy the juicy fruits;
Smell of flowers attracts bees to suck honey;
Smell of master makes the dog wag its tail;
Smell of scent takes men to the world of ecstasy!

Smell of everything has a different attraction;
Smell of incense takes one to the spiritual world;
Smell of rain washed soil gives fresh sensation;
Smell of mother makes the child very happy!

Smell of odour repels all to go away from the place;
Smell of asafoetida drives away many from the place;
Smell of hydrogen sulphide never allows one be there;
Smell of repellent drives away all mosquitoes to nowhere!

For everything there is a smell in the world of man;
But is there a smell of death for man to know before?
