Please take a step back


You are giving me corrections,

Punctuation, grammar, and all things of that sort.

And as you give the paper a closer look,

It seems that  throughout your morning routine your toothpaste has ran short.

You must not know about the odor that is coming from your face,

or that your toothbrush, dental floss, and mouthwash needs to be replaced

I guess what I'm trying to do is find a nice way

to say

that your breaths stinks,smells, has a stench, is funky, or that it is noisome.

I still would like you to criticize my paper 

But can you please take a couple steps back. 

And by the way, take this pack

of Tic Tacs.
