It was a windy day on the Isle of Man (I guess I shouldn’t eat fried beans for tea) My hubby said ‘Just stop farting Jan’ Please fit a cork where no one can see! So a cork got inserted where the sun don’t shine And we went for a long walk by the sea When a cork whizzed past - but it wasn’t mine Alas, it got wedged high up in a tree The owner of the cork used his walking stick instantly the cork dropped down like a rocket He picked it up; oh gee he was so quick Then he placed the cork in his pocket I gave the poor chap a sympathetic smile Then whispered ‘forget the cork… just fart free style’ FICTION WRITE!!!!!! 11-03-17

Jan, this is a touchy subject for people. It is also a cultural issue as well. I was a kid and was chastised by my mother who told me I had to do that on the toilet. That makes life difficult since a bathroom since there are not bathrooms on every corner.

Ha ha ha @ on every corner - I think someone needs to invent undies that have a muffler for sound and scent lol. I worked with a student I named 'beans boy' he could let rip at the drop of a hat and we had to open the windows it was so bad:-( hugs jan xx

Ah, Sonnets... farts... Jan... A match made in heaven (although best not to light it!!) :). Heh - the 'captcha' said: "wry". All the best, John.

ha ha ha I love the captchas when they are apt to the theme - a very different sonnet to my midnight romance one but I had a blast writing this one:-) hugs jan xx

Very funny Jan! I guess if the breeze isn't enough to blow someone's hair back, it's not a foul! A #1 trophy for poetic flatulence in my book! Thanks for the (sorely needed) smile before I go to work tonight!...........xx.....80)......Pat

Jan, this is hilarious, and you said you have trouble with sonnets...if Shakespeare had any sense of humor at all, he would have appreciated this! John

Jan Allison

Thanks John I did have fun with the poem:-) I focused on the content and not on the syllable count but its a decent effort lol:-) hugs jan xx

Shakespeare is rolling over in his grave, but he does have a smile on his face! lol

Jan Allison

LOL John! I am not a soneteer in fact I try not to write them as I was criticised about my writing in my early days at soup and the though of iambic pentameter really is Greek to me, but i had fun with this and I guess Shakespeare would have a giggle at my poor attempt at a poem :-) hugs jan xx

The title had me guffawing! Sometimes you just have to let the cork pop! For me, I was on a nice walk, at a large park (well for Georgia ;) and there were piles of dog poop hither and thither. Dogs like to air all their laundry in public. Love you, Jan! Unadulterated fun!

Ugh don't get me started on dog poop, it really is a pet hate of mine - literally! I had fun with this poem ... I know some disapprove of me writing poop but they don't have to read it and I will never let that stop me having fun and trying to make folks smile -) hugs jan xx

Are you sure it's a fiction write? lol! You crack me up Jan, you made me laugh so hard that my back started hurting! I'm fine, your poem made me smile big time my friend! You are one hilarious woman! I don't recommend you use a cork, or a finger! Just let'er rip, JK! It depends on where you are and who you are with and the situation you are in! Oh no! I'm talking about farts! I'll leave that to your incredible poetry! What a grand piece, Great Work!!
