DIY: STOMA AROMA.
Stoma aroma can arise
and can take us by surprise
so, we should always be on guard
as explanations may be hard.
Stoma stink is not much fun
for me, for you, or anyone
and, if we’re not meticulous
it makes us feel ridiculous.
It’s not the same as common farts,
for when the smell of stoma starts
we know that other things may come
from this appendage on our tum.
The worry of a leak, for us
might cause us to fuss or cuss
but worst of all, we don’t want it
to seem to others that we’ve shit.
There’s something distasteful about
the smell emitted from our spout
and so, we don’t want others to
experience the stench of Pooh.
Some of the smells are unforgiving,
unnerving, and undeserving,
both for us and others too
so, we must come to the rescue.
Thus, it’s up to us to try
to use our skills in DIY
to circumvent these bad events
by DIY experiments.
I’ve tried everything I know
to get the fouler smells to go,
but when they’re there, we can’t not share
this process that floats through the air.
I hope one day, that we may see
something to make us all smell free!
