A terza rima poem on the proper uses of fragrances to facilitate dating and courtship.


Lavender Lines and Lovely Red Roses

Like lavender lines, lovely, red roses
are meant for your immaculate sweethearts
and their fine, little, delicate noses;

not to damage the most sensitive parts,
or overwhelm the olfactory senses,
present them with the finesse of the fine arts,

as love’s a game of great consequences.
Lovers choose on the mere whiff of a scent;
smell like roses, or lead to major offenses.

Too much perfume is wholly unpleasant:
a little hint on the neck and the wrist
is enough to smell attractively fragrant;

so don’t offend like your face striking my fist,
heed these lavender lines so you'll get the gist.
