  • Fragrance: Murphy and McNeil - Green Man

Relevant Post-shave and Fragrance:
u/DoctorRotor said, / "Just fougère after fougère." / The hardware's green, too.

Challenge Accepted:
Lather Games haikus. / Haikus enforce brevity. / Good thinking, djudges.
I had a friend once. / Thanks to her, I got practice. / Her haikus were great.
Haikus have morae. / Japanese is different. / But this is English.
Make each line its own. / Don't get all fast and loose with... your haiku line breaks.
Good haikus observe major phrasal boundaries. See? This "haiku" sucks.

#FOF
What is a fougère? / They're not what I might expect. / They should be grassy.
That may not be fair. / Varen is the best fougère. / Stirling did it right.

Murphy and Mcneil. / Green Man says "fougère" right there. / I guess I'll trust them.
Three weeks of the Games. / My nose is getting better. / I smell the anise!
Lavender, jasmine / And hey, I get the oakmoss! / I guess it's grassy.
The scent gets better. / It develops on my skin. / That's why I bought it.
Oh! Free Disclaimer! / If "bought from a gift card" counts; / It was from my mom.

I did not know this: / This Brut stuff is a fougère. / I guess it smells fine.
Brut is way too strong. / This is all I'll smell all day. / But it's not too bad.
An old friend hates it. / At least, for me to exude. / Her father used it.
Though it's a classic, / I'm not sure of the appeal. / To each their own, though.
They blend together, / the Green Man fragrance and Brut; / they're similar (duh).

#photocontest
Photo:
They're Wild Animals. / Artemis likes watching them. / We both just waited.
That jasmine still lives. / Watered 90 times a day. / It's so fucking hot.
The air's made of death. / Don't think you can go outside; / you will not survive.
Wouldja look at this: / An "Excessive Heat Warning"? / Yeah, no shit. We know.
