To Be Read Aloud

Are you listening? Open your ears For this is to be read aloud it needs your voice Because it can not speak on its own... This is a poem that I'll call a slam One day I was feeling quite queazy But had much shopping to do being breezy No! I will not let a little gassy, nausea stop me Chewing two tritalac which helps with that gas It works by pushing all that gas down and outting Easing the digestive track...A little walking You know like that morning constitutional Helps to eliminate all the problems that are institutional It must have been those beans in that Chili They got down there and fermented really Well I went to the garden center at Wally You know Wally-World and thought that I would look around There was not a soul or a sound around the grounds Everything was quiet on the selling front..Not one of the personnel To talk to or a customer ....I had this place all to myself With those beautiful plants looking absorbed in the beauty What is that over there...Let me go look Concentrating..all alone Gas moving moving in one great big Bubble___ pootttttttttttttt Looked up ...the man I never saw well he laughed.......HAAAAAAAAAAA! Rolling in the floor laughter.... Embarrassed! Well, I'll let you decide... (Well is this a slam!)

Doris' comment was sure funny. I don't really think it is slamming anybody but kind of yourself there, so yeah, in a way. IN any event, a funny one!! Luv, andrea
