A fool to try to cloak B. O. with Sure!
When even God cannot, my stench, contain.
So when it seems your nose cannot endure
Its best for you to flee than to remain.
My sweaty hands,they cannot hold my pen,
Foul odor billows forth to sting the eye,
Small children cry and parents curse me when
They see my most offensive self walk by.
So please lament for me, beloved friend,
For Love's sweet kiss won't bless this stinking brow,
And weep for those my fetid feet offend
Who think I've rolled in dung fresh from the cow.
A reeking man, as rancid as can be,
When this foul perspiration covers me.

Geez Jim you're already parodying yourself. That can't be good. You know what's missing though is a punchline. It was fun to read though (if that's the right word).

Jim: Very funny indeed, but not all the
way. I happen to know one such person,
a dear friend, who answers almost exactly
to your description.
Hope this proves you intuitive power.
