Gasless Edibles
Flackmoth wishes science could eliminate
the foul gas certain edibles create,
notably cabbage and baked beans
and when released cause vivid scenes
of embarrassment to the offending ilk
who do their best to conceal their guilt –
at packed church suppers especially
when neighborly conviviality
and best behavior proximity
often suffer most, and a stampede
for fresh air becomes everyone’s need
and the perfect face-saving opportunity
to release any residue with anonymity.
