Have you
ever been
in a
convalescent
home?
Hugged an
old person
all alone
There’s that
musty smell.
Hell
It’s
every where
Even in
Their hair
.
Yet nobody
else notices.
Should I
tell Grandma
it’s there?
I’m not
Suggesting
Snarky
Comments
Rather
A
Graceful
Hew
Of
Compassion
I
Could
Never
Pretend
I don’t care
I certainly
would want
to know
If I’m
giving off
A pig pen
Glow
A Horrific
Odor
As I get older
A
Bad smell
I can’t tell
Do others
ignore it
From me?
Is it
dead skin
in their
clothes
that makes
me
want to
hold my
nose?
Nobody knows
for sure
If they did,
there would
be a cure
For now,
Lots of
Quality
Expensive
Perfume cologne
A multitude
The old
Condone
As
Grandfather
would say
“pull
my finger
The odor
will linger”
I will always
remember
that smile
on his face
He was
An old
Chester Cat
Top hat
Grin
He
Used up
all nine
lives
Just
Like that
A
Mischievous
Smile
The bright Side
when
I pulled
his finger,
That
Incredible
smile
Also
lingered
Inspired song;
That Smell 1977

I don’t know why you smell that with elderly people, but they don’t seem to notice. Nobody seems to say anything. What’s the deal? Is that what I have to expect for real.?
