rate me

Putrescine and cadaverine

The pungent twins of putridity

Colorless and syrupy

Biogenic amines...

Putrescine and cadaverine

Vapor of ornithine

The stench of death visits me

In the morgue laboratory...

(Perfume of rot...heady, thick and hot)

Putrescine and cadaverine

Brothers in liquidity

Fuming stench of carcass stink

Noisome gas, fetid glee...

Putrescine and cadaverine

Ambassadors of ripened reek

Breaking down dead protein

Egressing odors miasmically...

(Sickening stink...makes watering eyes blink)

These dual chemical compounds, released shortly after

death

Cloud the pleasant morgue ambiance with their foul,

rotten breath

Fraternally bound to haunt swollen distended bodies

Their chemical reactions clash amidst rank autopsies...

NH2(CH2)4NH2...Putrescine!

C5H14N2...Cadaverine!

NH2(CH2)4NH2...Putrescine!

C5H14N2...Cadaverine!

Gorges rise and heave with the stench

A symphony of sickness, perfumed with putrescence

While affronted senses nauseously totter and lurch

The carcass breeds odor, and chemically gives birth...

NH2(CH2)4NH2...Putrescine!

C5H14N2...Cadaverine!

NH2(CH2)4NH2...Putrescine!

C5H14N2...Cadaverine!

The ripened tang of gaseous decomposition let loose in

the morgue

Overtaxed fans strain to aerate the grave-ly polluted

ward

Tumefied decedents belch their chemical cohorts into

the air

The airborne corpse-whiff adheres to fabrics, skin,

and hair

(Acrid reek...odiferous cadaver leak)
