The Smell

A smell came wafting to my nose,
Know not from whence it came.

My attention it did get,
This pungent odor same.

Belay that fragrance. Hold your place.
Examine you I must.

Perfumed exhalation grows.
Am overwhelming gust

Of breeze so clean, so very pure.
A welcome breath. it just

Renewed my faith in bathing so,
I made a vow today —

To wash my body regularly,
Instead of once in May.
