The Smell Of SNAFU



Do you ever wake up
in a state of confusion,
to a smell that sends out
an olfactory illusion?

You cannot tell whether
it's pleasing or vile,
as it could be fresh coffee
or your doggy's fresh pile!

It's a snafu of nature
that came with a glitch.
Between dog piles and coffee,
which fragrance is which?

Did the maker wear slippers,
or wear a dog tag?
You never know whether
to drool or to gag!

In solving the quandary,
you track down the source
as you tiptoe around
a dark obstacle course.

You hope for the best
when you see what you've found,
Whether fresh-brewing coffee
or a gift from your hound!

As you look toward the coffee
to see if it's perking,
you step in the answer
right where it's been lurking!
