Notes About The Poem

Blast Off

Here lie the bones of Ethel Carter
Scatolologist and expert farter
Her life she said had been a blast …
‘Twas on the John that Ethel passed!

Perhaps the reason for Ethel having passed, was that the dear old soul was gassed. What a blast… Belle x

Oh, Jan, this is absolutely perfect! The rhyme and rhythm are simply great. I don't see how anyone could top this!!! I loved it.

Obviously that "expert poet" has not read many of the classical poets, particularly in the limerick genre. We all need a good s**t now and then, agreed!
