Love potion smells...
...of...
Snakes. Grass. Snakes.
Paper, parchment, magic, cakes.
Quill ink, quaffles, engine smoke.
Pillow linen, polished oak.
Orange, nutmeg, ginger, spice.
Fat sultanas, sugar mice.
Tatty slippers, chocolate milk.
New pyjamas made of silk.
Coins and parcels, purple soap.
Smell of classrooms. Smell of hope.
.
Tom says, "nothing" when he's asked,
With a happy grin well-masked.
Why should others know at all,
That the thing he loves is school?
