Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Burrrrrrrrp

Burps can be fun
While watching a play
The looks that you get
Well, what can I say

They're quite enough
To make you giggle
You try not to laugh
You wiggle and jiggle

The look of disgust
Of those seated near
They may not stay
For the curtain I fear

At times there's an odour
That stays for a while
Really quite foul
It affects your smile

That nasty old taste
That stays in your mouth
Makes you turn green
Permeates the house

It's really important
To apologize
For the harm that it causes
To plants and one's eyes!

Laura Breidenthal March 27, 2016 at 7:45 PM Oh man!! Another hilarious one!!! "They may not stay For the curtain I fear" Too funny! When I was in the first grade, my teacher was surprised that I could burp the ABC's. I had him laughing so hard! And yes, at times they can be unpleasant! Always, Laura Jack Ellison March 27, 2016 at 9:10 PM Hmmm... burp the ABC's! Your teacher must have had quite a sense of humour!!! xxx
