Just a Family Chandlery

I dip tapers, set beeswax,
imprint herbs. Mix scents,
shape candles and add dye.
You want a purple pillar?
Certainly, miss.
Round, squat and fat?
Perfect for your prayers, sir.
Smokeless with no dye?
Why, that’s easiest of all.
But when it comes to scents,
well, I can try my best, though
there are things you should know.
You asked for rose and got lime?
Juniper but I gave honey?
It’s only to be expected, sir,
can’t you tell?

poetry, writing
