The pinecone predicament is not one I've often run across, although I might (rather disrespectfully, I admit) suggest that those who use them must be Coneheads....On the other hand, I'm all too familiar with those evil little "air-freshening" evergreens, swinging from the rearview mirrors of toxed taxis. My take: (to the tune of "Carol of the Bells") Tiny Christmas trees Reek like Fabreze All seem to spray Poisons your way Wary, wary, wary, wary Christmas! ***** (Honestly, I *do* write in genres other than song parodies!) Aloha and LOL, Susie and Susan!

Tiny Christmas trees
Reek like Fabreze
All seem to spray
Poisons your way

Wary, wary, wary, wary Christmas!

I think they put them by the front door because even the employees can't stand them. But I can't get past that point. It's THEIR loss. I lived in the mountain and pinecones themselves don't really smell. In the Ponderosas and Lodgepoles, the wonderful Natural fragrances came from the needles, bark and sap, especially after a good rain. Pinecones don't smell anything like evergreen-shaped car "air fresheners" or Christmas "scented pine cones!" If you want fresh Natural odors I suggest a balsam pillow from the northeast U.S., or cedar chips from southern missouri (red cedars). Of course, some of us have noses that are so overly-sensitive most of the time we can't even tolerate these. Alas! - S. (BTW-Wonderful poem!) P.S. "Ya wanna buy a pinecone? Pinecones for sale. Untainted!" That would be an ad! That'll be the day! She forgot about those “pine-fragrance-laced” “scented pinecones” in so many of the stores.
