Epitaph For George - a Lethal Wind

EPITAPH - A LETHAL WIND

Here lies George, the sad deceased

Victim of flatulence released

The result: he would expire

Stood before an open fire

Lol. Watch out for open flames, especially when passing a lethal wind. George should have known that. :) Congratulations Geoffrey, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

Nice one Geoffrey. I believe it can happen to internal gases even without standing next to an open fire.
