Analysis of WHATEVER
I never peel an onion
Induces a state of lachrymose
Aware the sulfuric acid explosion
Releases tears not from my prose
Never spray a perfume
To falsely taint the air
But let my poetry fill a room
With words beyond compare
Select what fruit to swallow
To savor each word of my poetry
Hoping all my poems that follow
Fall from my creative tree
