Perfume Numbered Five Poem by Saiom Shriver
Perfume Numbered Five
That famous perfume numbered five
contained ambergris from the sperm
whale, castor from the Canadian beaver,
civet from the civetcat,
put into a rotating drum and
terrorized into secreting fixatives,
and musk from musk oxen,
38 of whom had to be castrated
to produce one ounce.
Should it have been called
Number 41?
*
(Current ingredients of that
perfume are not known by this writer)
