I bought a new candle today.
It was on sale—
Banana toffee scented.
The cats were curious
Of the twin flames and the burn
Of the match that lit the wicks.
The kitchen now smells sugary
But only slightly so—
And the scent becomes
More apparent the closer you get
To the toasty golden wax.
But that could just be me
Since I have a stuffy nose
Unlike the two cats
Who have their sharp noses high.
