What A Load of Nonsense!

At breakfast time my seeded toast
smelled just like watercress
while the coffee reeked of jellybeans
recovered from Loch Ness
My pillow smelled like butane gas
my curtains stank of socks
and when I sniffed the kitchen sink
memories of Grimsby Docks came flooding back
like Indian ink on manicured grass
My lunch whiffed philosophical
suspicious of my choices
the laundry smelled of stifled whim
uttered by voices of the seraphim
from writings theosophical
By mid afternoon the house was fragrant
with completely random things
a cricket bat from old Lahore
a taxidermied mouse
caught mid explore
doing things remiss with a vagrant
So now my nose suffers acute disjoint
as clearly something's wrong
there's disconnect 'twixt mind and snout
a disconcerting nonsense flows out
and scales the inspiration point
But one man's fragrance is another's odd whiff
so we do what we can, if time allows,
to entrance the reader with oddness so fine
it batters the senses into feelings sublime
