Body Odor
.
At Walmart store, I was standing behind a fat lady there,
When I noticed a terrible odor so very strong in the air.
I backed off from the heavy lady quite a long ways,
And i thought of body odor smells from my younger days.

Body Odor
.
The first time I remember smelling a person’s body smell,
Was sister, JerrylDine, after she was outside for a spell.
She had inadvertently rolled in a pile of fresh hot dog shit,
And she stunk to high heaven while my Mom had a fit.
.
It’s not like it was a new coat or something.
.

When brother Craig came along, his smells were strong,
Especially, when he dropped mustard in his diaper so long,
That it ran out the sides dripping all over the house floor,
Causing me to gag, and run very fast right out of the door.
.
Mustard is my specialty.

I’m the fifth grade, there was this plump red headed girl,
Whose name was Rita who let loud bean farts in school.
If you were close when she ripped one it choked you up,
Her dress had a brown spot, when a wet one she cut.
.
Mom fixed beans again last night..

In seventh grade, we went on a football team trip to play,
We rode a school bus there and back after our short stay.
On the trip back, Kenneth crapped his pants right there,
We rode back with burlap sacks over our heads, I swear.
.
Coach said leave it open and let it air out tonight.
.
.
.
.
.
.
There was another kid named Bobby on that same team,
Who’s football shoes always smelled like toe jam, it seems.
The smell was a killer if you got within 5 feet of his shoes,
So we always avoided him and his bag like he had the flu.
.
Is that me or you?

We had a teacher in high school who’s breath was so bad,
It knocked you down when she got close smelling so rad.
Students were always leaving her a new bottle of Listerine,
On her desk trying to get her the message from the teens.
.
An ounce a day keeps bad breath away.
.

In college there was a friend of ours we called Kenny Boob,
Who had belly button jam in there which was a bit crude.
He would stick his finger in and put it under your nose fast
And I swear, the bad odor would knock you on your ass.
.
I’m digging deep for a big blob of belly button jam.

Working in Borger, Texas, as a young engineer so green,
An engineer ran 5 miles to work which was not too keen.
We had no showers so he wore his stink all during the day,
So when I saw him coming, I always went the other way.
.
.
.
.
When we square danced in Bartlesville having big fun,
There was a lady that used no deodorant there on the run.
If you got in a square with her it was oh so very hard,
As her pit smell was really strong, and our nostrils did char.
.
Is that pit odor you Pam?
.
.

.
Over the years I’m sure I’ve shared some body odor too,
I’ve tried hard to keep odor under control going through,
When I get rank, I can smell it and then make a change.
Others may be immune to their odor or don’t give a dang.
