'The Throng' - Introducing Air Freshener

20/2/2014

I know, right - I've never been so prolific. Whatever - here is an introduction to the latest member of my superhero fraternity - Air Freshener, who will soon be the subject of his own poetically epic conflagration of action scenes and 'Nikolai Gogol' levels of satire.

Air Freshener

A crime scene in a dirty alley.
Suddenly smells like Lily of the Valley.

A corpse, four days dead.
A waft of cinnamon and gingerbread.

A motorway pile up,
many injured.
An essence of lavender lingered.

A fart released in a crowded lift.
Hot chocolate and strawberries sniffed.

Whatever dire danger for your nasal passage,
He’s gonna save you from permanent damage.

Coming 2014,
Which smells like lime, and tangerine.

Coming soon:
Boy In Spandex

Hold your breaths.

I am not into football, cricket or anything involving boats. I avoid rap music. I never eat food that contains okra and I never see films that have a colon in the title. I am not a fan of biographical films that make the subject more sympathetic than they actually were. I have an extreme allergy to cats and thus wish ill on every single one. I do not discuss Game of Thrones unless the person I am talking to has read the books first. I am continually surprised that some people really don’t like Leonard Cohen. I dislike The Bullingdon Club and The Sun newspaper. I am suspicious of young people. I hate it when TV journalists report on location hours after the event has finished, and the continual misuse of the word ‘pandemic’. People who stop at the top of busy escalators to extend a luggage handle need education, not punishment. I have a recurring nightmare where I am sharing a stage with Cheryl Cole and I am the only one singing live.

I do not like lottery-based ticket allocation systems and golden circle areas at festivals. The standard Nokia text message alert used to annoy me, but now I miss it a little bit.
