inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 12 January 2022, essence.
There was once an upmarket distiller,
To his hooch added pods of vanilla,
While the drink didn’t sell,
With it’s sickly sweet smell,
He’d developed a world-class painkiller.

The distiller became a millionaire
He gambled it away in Zaire
Then he launched a second something
Hoping this time that itch wasn’t coming !

Aha, you uncovered a fatal flaw,
To lose a packet, then some more!

But it wasn’t meant to be
The end goal he just couldn’t see

Did I tell you that his name was Andy?
At least he consoled himself with all that brandy!

Then like his namesake
Made a fatal mistake
All that brandy
Made him bare naked and randy

I used to drink tea infused with vanilla. Delightful. Can’t imagine anyone not liking the smell.

past centuries women use to dab it behind their ears as perfume. I find it a pleasant scent

I remember, as a boy, “vanilla” was the default flavour for e.g. ice cream, and was basically flavourless, but real vanilla is such a lovely scent and flavour, it doesn’t surprise me.
