“O, my offense is rank, it smells to heaven” ~ Hamlet, William Shakespeare
Sadly my own- morning breath
Alleviated by- minty toothpaste
Counteract with- robust coffee
Neutralized (a bit)- tiny breath mint
“For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.” ~ Sonnet 94, William Shakespeare
Just outside- sickeningly sweet syrupy lilac bush
Antiseptic- doctors office
Fresh air infused- cut grass
Offset by- gasoline fueled lawn mower
“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” ~ Hamlet, William Shakespeare
Asphyxiated by- hot tar road repaving
Motor oil dirt- auto shop
Reprieve – fresh baked bread on a sandwich
Goodwill…
Slap- malodorous musty clothes
Leather parchment and ink- books
Home…
“Do you smell a fault?” ~ King Lear, William Shakespeare
A faint smell- dog piss
A strong smell- my anger
Grapefruit Flavored fizzy water
Rug shampoo
