I came home from hospital feeling fine. <br />Yet what I discovered made me decline. <br />My Husband said that he had done all the choirs <br />and everything was clean and bright indoors! <br />The smell that hit me when I opened the door <br />made me feel sick, just as I was before. <br />Everything was sparkling just like a new pin. <br />Then I said to my husband 'have you empeted <br />the bin! <br />The bin had been seen to, there was no smell <br />from that, then I looked down and remembered <br />the cat.Had he brought in a mouse and left it <br />somewhere in the house. <br />The smell I was looking for was now a great task. <br />I had to go to the bathroom to find a surgical mask. <br />Three hours had passed and still no sign of the smell. <br />Did I need all this I was still unwell. <br />I sat down in the chair and said to myself, 'am I doing all this <br />to benifit my health' <br />As I sat in that chair the smell got stronger and that was <br />it I could not stand it any longer.As I pulled out the chair I <br />could see it was there; something that was quite rare. <br />My Husband said he felt such a fool because he couldent <br />smell anything at all. I cleaned up the mess and forgave the <br />cat, for the two day old 'Whoopsy' that sat on the mat.<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-great-smell-hunt/
