ROSES ARE FOR NOSES - by James Donovan
Roses are for noses, and
I suppose, everyone knows this,
Just a whiff, or a little sniff,
can often induce great bliss.
For one who’s sad,
or feeling bad,
surrounded by much gloom,
To help them cope,
injecting fresh hope,
God sends a fragrant bloom.
Don’t get me wrong,
I agree with the throng,
rose blooms are very appealing,
But it’s the one with a scent,
when over it you’re bent,
'sends your emotions
through the ceiling.
Sure, "Touch of Class"
is a beautiful lass, and
in fact an exhibitor’s dream,
But smell "Mme. Pierre Oger",*
or "Louise Odier",**
and I think you’ll
see what I mean.
The rose’s beauty,
as if doing its duty,
refreshes one's soul like ointment,
But, I won’t recant, if there’s no perfume extant,
the flower leaves
some disappointment.
“A Rose, A Rose, A Rose,”
someone famous
once said in prose,
But, when all’s said and done,
it’s the aromatic one,
'proves the rose was made
for the nose.
* pronounced, "Oh-zchay"
** pronounced, "Oh-Dee-Ay"
