it’s greatly under rated
As the senses go–
some would say to see or hear,
and touch and taste
help a human grow
But I say,
what your nose knows
means an awful lot;
Take a whiff of the milk
and you’ll know you’ll not
have to taste it to discover
that it’s curdled and gone bad.
Let me smell the roses,
the lavender and pine,
Let me smell the Rosemary
with this nose of mine,
Let me smell the winter air
to sense a storm is brewing;
I can smell it without seeing,
that bacca’ chaw you’re chewing.
I love the smell of coffee,
It helps me greet the dawn,
Let me smell clean linen sheets
that I’ve slept upon.
What your nose knows
Supercedes the other senses.
What your nose knows
Is the most intenses.
