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

I've never tried them and on your good authority I think I will avoid them lol Hugs Jan xxx

Thanks Arlene I was in need of humour when I wrote this:-) Hugs Jan xx

Very witty Jan! I'm now realizing how lucky I am that I never liked baked beans! Another top rating...what else!! hugs // paul

November 25, 2014 at 5:12 PM

LOL Paul I find it hard not to write witty limericks:-) hugs jan xx

November 25, 2014 at 3:15 PM

LOL, needed another good laugh and wasn't disappointed : )

November 25, 2014 at 3:19 PM

Glad I made you smile Jack:-) Hugs Jan xx

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

November 25, 2014 at 12:02 PM

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?

November 25, 2014 at 11:51 AM

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

Carter needs some bean-o..Ha!! Reads like a winner to me..Way to go for the contest..Thanks for the visits to my page..Sara

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.

November 24, 2014 at 6:32 PM

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

November 24, 2014 at 3:54 PM

Thanks Gary:-) Hugs jan xxx

November 24, 2014 at 3:28 PM

Jan This reminds me if my favorite irreverent Irish saying "May the wind behind you always be your own".

November 24, 2014 at 3:01 PM

LOL joe:-) Hugs Jan xx

November 24, 2014 at 2:51 PM

I believe this is a Bio of my friend Jimmy Carter!! It's good to laugh and to toot -- outside of course!

November 24, 2014 at 3:01 PM

lol David:-) Hugs Jan xx

November 24, 2014 at 1:45 PM
