fish food

You'd almost think

That the house was haunted

Or that I wanted

A little flavor or drama

Trust me I woke up

Something had been rotting

Belly turning, twisting, and knotting

Something unusual

That hadn't been there

The night before

But the first thing we smelled in the morning, was

Fish food

Or maybe, cat food

Or maybe, a dead raccoon

Or maybe, something smelly in the walls

And maybe the mold grew tall from the basement

To the attic

My god, we're so dramatic

Covering our noses

And dumping out all the flower water

We cut off the end of the rug

Oh, but then still we had no luck

Oh, then somehow it

Disappeared

And then it didn't smell like

Fish food

Or maybe, cat food

Or maybe, a dead raccoon

Or maybe, something smelly in the walls

And maybe the mold grew tall from the basement

To the attic

Oh, we cut off the end of the rug

Oh, then still we had no luck

Somehow it disappeared

Oh it, disappeared
