Why Do Some Farts Smell


Why do some farts smell?
Not that I can tell
As I have no sense of smell!

Is it always down to food?
That makes a fart quite crude
Then label people rude!

You can see it in their face
As the air it does displace
They’re left standing in disgrace

Do ladies really fart?
Or are they far too smart?
To let the air impart!

Too polite to let it blow
Although at times they know
They just have to let it go!

To kids it’s all a game
To give their farts a name
Then on each other blame

But you shouldn’t hold them in
Or you will swell your skin
 Though, to some it is a sin

So be proud and let it out
Of this there is no doubt
If it smells you’ll hear them shout.

    A tribute to "Le Petomane" ! Well, when I got wind of this one, I knew it had to be sniffed out. ! Definitely a cut above the rest! You must have been holding this one in for a while! Cheers, Roy

    Now I can confirm it. here in PoetrySoup we write about anything and everything. Sure - we all do it, why deny it. It is normal, but watching what we eat can help. So it has been written and it has been said. Good night. Lucilla

    Ha ha! Ask a man who's been married awhile and he'll tell you whether women fart too! Can you imagine what it must be like for the beautiful celebrities on the res carpet, trying to hold one back! Ha ha! Very funny poem!

    wow, to have no sense of smell. So you were not kidding!!

  1. Date: 10/17/2012 1:51:00 PM

    hahaha, what silliness is this, oh master bard? Is it true you have no sense of smell? I ask this because my husband's bad sinus problem has made it impossible for him to smell the cat pee on our basement carpet. If his nose were working well like when he was younger, he could have known our one cat was destroying that one basement room of ours because I am the one with a not very good sense of smell, but now MINE is better than his!!! (I can always smell popcorn very well!)

    Oooo~! A fart poem -- yes! Ha! "So be proud and let it out" I dunno 'bout tha' sometimes :D A very entertaining read, David. I still find it odd that you can't smell your own farts. I am actually curious....after dealing out a round, have you ever asked someone if it smelled really bad?

    Crude as hell David, but the truth! I read a Whoopi Goldberg's book, where she talks about doing that in an elevator then turns around and looks at everyone else with a grimace on her face, her nose turned up in the air, as if some one just committed the cardinal sin...LOOOL!! You belched this one out as if there is something to it...come on Dave, spill your beans, now! Giggling here!!
