Now It's Personal...
Your scent,
It doesn't get much more personal than that,
This "Pluto in Aquarius,"
This shin-knocker of aging,
As generations behind you take over the world,
While you're still in it.
Since 1977,
Aunt Felicia said it smelled good on me,
Worked with my body chemistry,
I'm not much on fragrance,
Hate most of them and choke,
But this was nice,
Pleasant.
Speed stick crashed off the track,
Discontinued by younger minds,
Jovan needs to find a new partner,
I need to buy a new bottle every month,
Just in case.
The perils of aging out,
The things that make you you,
I don't want to know,
How much more it could be,
Because now it's personal.

Author's Note: Colgate wrote back and confirmed that Speed stick "musk" scent is no longer being manufactured, and they have no back stock to offer. I literally have used both of these since 1977. This scent on me is the same age as the first Star Wars movie appearing in theaters. Funny, until it happens to you. To mis-quote Yoda, "It will be, it will be."
