There was this stench
It stunk to high heaven!
It was getting late~
Way past eleven.
***
I looked high and low;
Under, over and in the bed.
Couldn't find where the reek was
Not even in the shed!
***
I checked the carpet on the floor
The bathroom and the loo
Even peeped behind the door
Whiffed the washing basket too!
***
I looked in the sidebourd
Under the sink
But just couldn't find
The cause of the stink!
***
I peered under the chairs
The bench as well,
The cupbourd under the stairs
But could not detect that smell!
***
It followed me everywhere
Where did it belong?
I had to find
This terrible pong.
***
I peeked in the wardrobe,
Shook the sheets
And finally found that source.......
They were my rancid feet!
