Here’s a truth about which, our noses do sense,
Humans have a smell, that can give offense.

There is an odor that, I humbly will admit,
Quite powerful is, from the human arm pit.

Thus we must wash, to extinguish the fumes,
Use deodorant to smell, like a rose’s blooms.

Deodorant is our friend, keeps us freshly smelling,
So we can coexist, in our common little dwelling,

Tooth brushing removes, a certain foul smell,
Made by the germs, in the mouth do dwell.

Those germs are tiny, use the food we ate,
To create an odor, not at all first rate.

There’s another odor, so strong and invasive,
Whatever is touched, retains the stink pervasive.

It does repel everyone, does everyone appall,
Curls the nose of anyone, be they short or tall.

The smell from feet, thoroughly abused,
Rancid and disturbing, no one is amused.

So scrub and scour, those feet one and two,
Wash between the toes, removing any goo.

Change socks daily, else the smell’s retained,
Stressing your dear family, friendships strained.

We can now see, the reason for those things,
The pastes, the brushes, the other stuff that cleans.
