Blowing In the Wind

There once was a fellow named Carter
Who ate refried beans as his starter
He’d blow off his horn
From dusk until dawn
and was a persistent loud farter

Funny. This one has an 'air" to it.

Jan... you've got me feeling sorry for anyone named Carter now. I had a good chuckle Jan, but if you want something to beat baked beans on the topic... try Jeruselum artichokes. They become a stinker for anyone who over indulges. Thank you Jan-Lindsay

As far as my statement on the meter I was being sarcastic. I think your limerick is perfect.

Jan Allison

I know you were my friend I was being equally sarcastic back lol I wouldn't care either way Maurice I wrote it because I wanted humour in a limerick and I think I achieved my objective:-) hugs Jan xx

I don't know? I mean I love it, it is quite brilliant. Still have a feeling you may have the meter wrong, the syllables are stressed in the wrong places. I don't mean to be a silly old fart, but I'm sorry I am going to Fav this. Does anybody have a match?

Jan Allison

Yes I agree Maurice! I have the meter all wrong - do I care - NO its a limerick and its funnyyyyyyyyyy:-) Hugs Jan xxx

Its purely a fun write Sara - the contest was for clean limericks - i guess as my piles poem wasn't placed then farting wouldn't be allowed either lol:-) hugs Jan xx

that is GOOD, Jan. One little suggestion. for me, if I say "who" instead of He in line two, it seems more like da DA haha. this is really clever as limericks go and clean is a JOKE. You gotta go like THIS.

Jan Allison

will amend Andrea - thank you :-) Hugs jan xxx

Jan, Very Funny Here!! This reminds me of the old saying I learned as a little kid: "Beans, Beans the musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot, the more you toot -- the better you feel -- I'll have beans for every meal." Mr. Carter is not the right person to be around unless he's down wind!! I always enjoy your Limericks!! Best Always, Gary
