SMELLS AND AROMAS

The nostrils twitch, the membranes itch, the sneezer starts to swell. The guts produce an acid juice. You retch. You have smelled a smell.

The tonsils pinch. the senses flinch, the adam's apple bobs. The dinner roast and breakfast toast all come up in globs. You have smelled a smell.

The ache prevails, the sore entrails twist tightly into knots. The eyes grow weak, you cannot speak. You have smelled smell.

The senses reel, turn like a wheel, the muscles shrink, then swell. You cannot think or sleep a wink. You have smelled a smell.

But wait! Not all smells make you regurgitate.

The nostrils spread to fill the head with aromatic treasure. The senses perk and go to work paving way for pleasure. The belly bile beams like a smile and gurgles like a baby. The nose knows well each cooking scent and every kind of gravy. Sugared hams and candied yams trigger titillation. Scent of steak and chocolate cake precede participation. These aromas make home sweet homas. They foretell eating events. Damn the caloric consequence. FULL FEED AHEAD1
