When I was born, the nursing room,
Smelt of medicines and dettol,
I squeezed my baby nose, unable to breathe,
Couldn't bear, wanted to run from it all,
How I wished then, the air changed
from smelly to smiley...
Before going to school everyday,
My mama forced us to eat fish,
While it being cooked though,
Our nose neurons got tortured beyond limits,
How I wished then, the air changed
from smelly to smiley...
Teaching cleanliness, my mama gave me a duty,
Dump the garbage everyday, in the bin of municipality,
When someday, careless I'd forget my task,
The garbage corner would spread its stink amuck,
How I wished then, the air changed
from smelly to smiley...
While I enjoyed the first monsoon's, wet soil smell,
Had to dry clothes inside though, cos of hiding sun,
Damp clothes starts to give an odor so weird,
In no time everywhere, does it gets spread,
How I wished then, the air changed
from smelly to smiley...
What's that smell, my mama asked twitching her nose in surprise,
We hunted all corners inside out, our residential premises,
The smell was a stinking dead rat, who'd got killed,
Its acrid odor now wafted in, through the walls so thick,
How I wished then, the air changed
from smelly to smiley...
In the cinema hall, we had sat excitedly,
For the latest hit show matinee,
Annoyingly a man near, kept releasing unpleasant gas,
He was suffering from upset tummy, was obvious,
How I wished then, the air changed
from smelly to smiley...
Living by the sea, has its super charms,
Jog on the sandy beach, or enjoy the breezy air,
At night though, when the sewage pipe is released,
The cool posh area, becomes a smelly nightmare,
How I wished then, the air changed
from smelly to smiley...
The food we eat, the toiletries we use,
The oil and incense we burn,
or simply the flowers in the garden...
In our daily lives, we encounter many such,
Smells of various kinds,
Pleasant ones are few, while bad are on a rise.
Its time then to get Ambipur,
The only Home Range Fragrance, that delivers,
Smelly to Smiley is its promise,
I tried it and loved it,
Time to spread some more cheers!
