A Short Dissertation On Flatulance

A short dissertation on a natural phenomenon That takes place many times every day Sometimes at the most inopportune moments Like in a theatre at a Shakespearian play If the emission has a really pungent odour Folks will certainly notice the foul breeze However, the criteria is it must be silent As you inadvertently cut the cheese An essence of chutney is actually not bad If accompanied by a hint of geraniums But these highfaluting people must be warned It can sometimes damage their craniums So that's all I will say about this taboo subject Hope you enjoyed it as I did from the start Please don't call it a vulgar flatulence Just call it by its happy name... fart!

I hear this being spoken in a very sophisticated voice, which makes it funnier as I read it...the third stanza is fabulous! Always, Laura

Happy 'farts' come from happy endings, Jack?:) Next time I have "chutney", I'll think of this and maybe pass it by. Someone said these smell like rotten eggs, I can't find even the faintest hint of geraminums with this thought. "Flatulances" are supposedly healthy, maybe they should have a national fart day!:( Best wishes, Mikki
