My friend has been talking about this girl at work that’s really stinky on his FaceBook status for three days now. I sent him this poem/song in response:
(I made it up as I typed in like two minutes or less)

mildew. h1n1 in the hair. Stuff seepin out her ears. what in the world. Mad butter cow. Dumpster diver caniver. Liver left over, rotten 1/2 a leaf clover. BO for sure, a smell like needs to be wiped out, swiped out, tile toe nail grout from by the farm and maybe a bit further out, for that extra stain try shout, crinkle your nose and pout, go toe to toe in this big stink bout, a heavy weight isn’t over weight always unless they smell like dead fish, strong enough to make us donate irish spring to make-a-wish, headin to wal-mart so make a list, pine-sol and tide, some bleach and some right guard, some nose plug for swimmers she makes breathin kind of hard, we’ve all smelled some bad stuff in our days, but this “takes the cake” and blocks the sun shine’s rays, all around her is a haze, recognition of stink is like the 3rd or 4th phase, these days, dead frogs and toads and flooded camodes, dodge the stinkster or hit her with a big ugly stink rod, smoke bombs and shoot-out, get a box a string and a stick and put some food out, catch the stink in the box, stone it with rocks, seal it away with some locks and throw it in the misery.

    Very descriptive. Makes me want to clean something.

    Having read it, if only I could smell it!

  • A.L.Smith on Dec 16, 2009

    I can smell it. When I was a cashier we had a regular customer like that. His name was Jimmy, when he came in we did the “Jimmy shuffle”. Everyone tried to hide behind something so he couldn’t touch you. This brings back those, not so fond, memories.

    Oh dear, why does nobody point this out to her?

    cheeky poem!

  • stuart harley on Dec 16, 2009

    not conventional poem, but interesting play on words well done… i think must read it again some time and see if i understand it better

  • DriftingInsomnia on Dec 16, 2009

    A little confusing at first but when you reread it it all clicks! Interesting write, I wonder what his response was :)

    Brandon,
    This lady your talking about in the poem may have a medical condition that causes her to emanate a bad odor. I have a friend that has that problem. It would get so bad he couldn’t go to work for days. Now because of it he is a total recluse. He doesn’t go anywhere. He takes at least six baths a day with special soaps.
    He is an excellent artist and makes a very good living at it. His sister puts his paintings in museums, and he also does paintings for individuals. But in all a very good poem. Keep up the great work.

    Indeed, a good use of word imagery here. If you take a longer look than two minutes, you may find ways to write it differently for better effect – or different effect, at least. I’m glad I’m not the woman you write about.

    i think ya ought to start writing some lovable ones!
    this one is good (in all that poetic sense), but aint worth the read! it dosnt move me!

  • Brandon Lee McNaughton on Dec 17, 2009

    Thanks for the comments to all! I love it. I’m usually not harsh to people, but I kind of did more for the humor and less for the “making fun” of the “stinky” woman.

  • Nicholas Peterson on Dec 18, 2009

    a decent poem, and coming from someone who isnt a great fan of poetry in the first place I think that’s a comment well deserved. you got a like from me for sure.

  • Cebah on Dec 19, 2009

    Poor stinky woman. Interesting style of writing, though difficult to follow at first, you definitely get your message across :)

  • Brandon Lee McNaughton on Dec 19, 2009

    PS: The majority of the original people that this(poem) was first sent out to live in a town that runs along the Missouri River. That is why I thought it fitting to “throw the stink after it is caught, into the misery(Missouri)!!!

    It reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld with the smelly valet, where Jerry said they should have a crew that patrols the city sniffing out stinking people and scrubbing them down.
