a woman should always
wear expensive perfume
even if she has to skip
a meal here and there
the price of perfume
may go up but
her waistline
will go down


There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Oh, with this one you brought smiles, dear Faith.
If it was up to our favorite perfume to get those pounds down, well it would be such a welcome trick!
Funny, just yesterday I thought how disturbing strong perfume was ... crossing a couple of women who wore too much of it, in my opinion. But then I am not a man

The fragrances are either loved passionately or detested. And we also change our preferences throughout the years. I was once given a giant bottle of "Fiji" eau de toilette and couldn't stand it on my skin, so I gave it away. A few years later I fell in love with that fragrance. But now I prefer again the fresh agrumi notes .... in summer, and white musk in winter ...

Love and happy fragrant clouds ...

Dear Margherita-Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my little poem.  I have my favorite perfume just wish it wasn't so expensive.  Which is why I wrote this poem.  I just tried to put a little humor in it.

Thanks for being here.

Love,


Faith

Now my friend, therein lies
an answer to the unasked
but thought of question...
"how did she do that?"

Brava!

Dear James-Thank you.  Yes, you are right about the fine line thing.  Even the best perfume can be overdone if applied too heavily.  I just don't think too many like the smell of cheap perfume.

Love,


Faith

This is well-written but kind of sad, faithmairee. I believe I get the drift of it.
